David Thompson Blocks Bill Walton

have no problem giving Jordan credit where its due! However< when you start comparing apples to oranges Jordan was a habitual cheater in his married life not to mention a wife beater and womanizer!

How bout that pass though?

No way in hell does David Thompson become a better player than Michael Jordan. Everyone says this shit about Thompson, Bias, all these guys were it not for injuries, drugs, blah blah blah... it's all revisionist history at it's worst. MJ was the best bc he was the best, no ifs ands buts or maybes

i got to see nc state play that year in '74 a friend of mine went to maryland,anyway he caught john lucas from behind on a breakaway layup blocks the shot ! he came out of NOWHERE ! he was an awesome player !

Man he could JUMP!!

Thompson just got the nod from Jordan... As he will be the one introducing Jordan on friday during his hall of fame induction.

if "cocaine" counts as an injury, then yes, thompson had pounds of injury trouble once he went pro.

jordan was nothing compared to what thompson could have been had he not fucked around with drugs.

but being a state fan, its incessant "could haves, would haves, and should haves," since 1983, at least.

ok jordan wasnt "nothing," but i think thompson could have been remembered as the best ever.

jordan seriously considered state, too.
god damn unc

david thompson was an amazing player. but by the time michael jordan was a junior, he was the quickest guard in the world, quicker than thompson, & his moves were much sharper than david thompson's. i think david thompson jumped higher though.

Too true. If DT had stayed off the drugs then the best NBA player in history would've gone by a different name. It is an absolute travesty not to have this guy be more well known after the skills he showcased at NCSU. I mean no 3's, no dunks and no freshman year, and he is still one of the all time scoring leaders in the ACC.
