Top 5 NBA sixth man of all time

[stevenash]

LeBron would be #1 if he went through with what he said yesterday

#5 Jamal Crawford
#4 Toni Kukoc
#3 Manu Ginobili
#2 Kevin McHale, first 3 years as pro he was Celtic 6th man, won the award first 2 years, C's won it all.
#1 John Havlicek, born for the role. Best player ever to come off the bench.

Have to put him in the mix.
Also "The Microwave" from the Pistons

Detlef was a 17pt 5 board 4.5 assist 1.0 3pt guy while shooting 80% FTs as a 6th man. Just as good as it got.

You make a good case, I forgot how good he was.

[seaborneq]

Don't forget Eddie Johnson of the Suns. He averaged 20+ points a game coming off the bench

[mpaschal34]

Robert Horry is top 6th man come playoff time.

[DOM-Ganador]

Nasher, it was just the one year, but Bill Walton in `86 played, according to Pat Riley "MANIAICAL"

He was healthy and loved his teamates, knew it was a last chance, knew it was only 20 minutes or so a game, knew he wasn`t playing much unless it was against a playoff team.

He was the last piece of the GOAT NBA team with the 87 Lakers a great debate.

haha, how can you put jamal freaking crawford with all those names?

[oldscho0led]

Agree with tat. Scratch Jamal off and put Detlef in

Because he's won twice the sixth man award, once in Atlanta and the Clip, and I don't have total recall, so other posters are coming in with names that I forgot, so knowing what I know now with you guyd help, I would bump him down to 10.

Who you like tonight?

RM, Bobby Jones never played with or against either Gasol, Jones is old enough to be both Gasol's dad.....

Another good one for a couple years was Ricky Pierce on those good Buck teams lead by Jack Sikma....
