Scott Whitmore: Old balls = old school = 2 points
Close: Paul Bell (same reason). Not as good a J as Whitmore.

i think he said post player, that means you dont shoot a 3 every second offence.

Pero is not a post player. Post means back to the basket, Kevin McKale, Hakeem Olajuwon stuff, not catching the ball out at the 3 and taking guys off the dribble. Whitmore and Bell are the premier post players in the league, and then there is daylight between them. Just because someone is tall doesn't mean they are good in the post.

Northener you sound like a man of intelligence, this is exaclty what I'm saying, we should get together.
Bell has 3-4 post moves and that is it, so did Kevin Mchale but hey thats all you need to get it done and Belly has done it for years, it one thing to know what he is about to do its another to stop it.
Whitmore on the other hand has his jump shot you have to contend with as well, if you step off him in the post or just outside then bam its two of the glass and the hairy man is jogging back down the other end fist pumping, pointing to some warrior on his bench, love him or hate him he is not exaclty graceful but the job gets done. Keep it up Big Dog. If its ya last year it was a great ride and we wish you all the best.
