Cazzie built the house. Crawford would have liked to stay longer but unfortunately it was just a short-term rental.

I think that list was best Michigan players in the NBA. And you could definitely make the argument for Crawford

Rose over Juwan?

I love Crawford and he had a great NBA career. The tough thing when making this list is taking credit for him and his 12 games at Michigan the same way you would Cazzie, Rose, Rice, etc.

I think so. His 99-03 run is better than anything Howard did. Howard’s last, like, 8 years don’t really do much for me.

I’d argue Juwans first five years in the league match Rose’s peak. Plus he lasted much longer, made an all star team, and has him in aggregate stats

Juwan Howard was the most valuable player in the Lebron led Miami Heat. The number 1 option, the franchise player. Nobody wants to say it but I will.

And he also never gave up 81 points to Kobe…

Juwan peaked early, Jalen peaked properly.

It’s not necessarily the best way to decide who is better, but Juwan won one playoff series until he got to the Heat as a 37 year old. So from my mind it’s easy to make an argument Jalen contributed more to winning basketball. But part of that fault could be laid on Juwan’s contract. And Juwan wasn’t a worse player because of his contract, it just made it hard to even build a playoff team if he was on the team.

Overall they seem pretty equal and arguments could probably be made either way

Yeah Rose was the 2nd or third best player on a team that made the ECF and then the Finals in consecutive years.

Including genuinely having the MJ Bulls on the ropes.

Warriors offense has been abysmal all night long. Jordan’s defense has been pretty bad, but they need his shotmaking right now.

Poole’s late 3rd and early 4th completely changed the complexion of this game. Buzzer beater, hit a 3 and had the flop haha.

Poole is becoming a 40ft buzzer beater specialist. It is crazy that he makes such shots quite consistently.

Heck of a shot but that was maybe JPs worst game this series? He took a lot of shots that were best described as emotionally drunk.
