mark price is said to be the one of the first if not the first point guards to pioneer the splitting high traps on pick n rolls.....soo think twice..about...thinking everything is new nowadays..
i remember price could shoot the lights out, and it was not a set shot ( like larry bird). price could shoot in your face, he also played good defense..... 2 bad cleveland of today never had a guard like him, maybe lebron would have stayed.
why this guy was not selected one pof the 50 greatest nba players by david stern is beyond me. , and who could ever forget that 3 point contest during all star weekend. price was the man in his day
@kansas66204 Price's legacy would have been further cemented if he stayed healthy. And yes his release was one of things as a basketball player that I envied. There are other select guys in the league including Mahamoud abdul raouf who had these lightning quick releases that allowed them to shoot fearlessly knowing it was going to drop in.
@ThaTruth223 Nash had more possessions to him playing for a coach who was run and gun on crack. So of course he would have better and more opportunities to set his teammates up. Price played under wilkens, so he had to be a bit more creative in setting his guys up, especially at times when daugherty wasn't around due to injury.
the game seems so different today than it did then. it's still fun still excitingbut me, i'd take the 80's n 90's over todays game any day to watch. price was certainly fun to watch.
Mark Price...for THREEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I spent many a moment in my childhood annoying my sisters and parents by shouting that while playing air-basketball.
comparing now and then , Then NBA back then was a BIG MAN's Game. Today is more speed so the little guards get more of the focus. Mark price would have cleary been in a discussion of an mvp type season like nash. Not hatting on Nash either by the way.
@NYCincTV Similar style of game. Both are known for efficient shooting, careful ball handling, crisp passing and not much on perimeter defense. Though Nash more for his ball handling than price for his lightning quick release.
You get named mvp for 2 years playing under D'Antoni in a league that plays no defense anymore. Nash played his prime in the 90's he'd be lumped in the same category as price, stockton, kevin Johnson and other good point guards trying to be great.
When Price was right he was one of the best. No doubt one of the best shooters of all-time and a great passer too. Nate Archibald, Steve Nash, and Mark Price the greatest small guards ever. Price may be the best pure shooter of all-time. From the line he was a 90% shooter too.
I remember watching his battles against the KNICKS, BULLS, SUNS, JAZZ, BLAZERS and many more, it didn't matter what the score was he still had ENDLESS ENERGY THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE GAME. Those were the DAY!!!
and many young people don't even know his name nowadays! i know him because i'm old enough! he was NOT JUST A SHOOTER (it's a narrow mind point of view) i mentionned the PLAYER that's why i said he's underated ! but i like tour comments !very constructive !
Can't believe he's not coaching college ball somewhere. I saw him coach that little Private School and they were UNREAL and only had freshmen and sophomores on the team...
Ezekiel 46:2: And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
Read the Bible. It is God's Word. There is salvation in only One: Christ (Acts 4:12). Wait on Him for salvation. He saves those whom He wishes to.
Hmmmm....maybe he was Steve Nash before Steve Nash. All three easily could avg Double figure assist wit no prob he looked to score more than J Kidd thats why I liked him over Stockton cuz he was a constant scoring threat. Kidd And Stockton both love to pass the ball but this dude put pressure on your d cuz you always had to worry about him he always made the D make a choice I told my son today if Brad Daugherty wouldnt have got hurt they woulda challenged all Malone & Stocktons records.
enid, oklahoma. i was at work and marks brother brent came in ( former sooner, houston rockets, ect) anyway he said mark was coaching in greece. true story
How am I looking for racism coolade? Isn't what I said accurate? Am I completely off base with my observation? I didn't assign a value judgment to it as good or bad did I? I simply asked the question?
Now, would you care to offer a possible explanation regarding my original question?
Hey, why do the guys usually play some rock music when they show a White Baller and usually profanity laced hip hop for the Brothas if they are under 30 years old?
