Could've Been The Best Power Forward Ever! DERRICK COLEMAN Stunted Growth

In the early 90s Derrick Coleman was a beast! Was way ahead of his time, had everything you'd want from a power forward and more. One of the first real stretch 4s in the NBA that had the chance to be the best ever at his position. He still had a solid career, but didn't quite hit the mark of what was expected of him in many eyes. To me, DC is a legend, but what happened to make him miss the mark for most? Stunted Growth.

Derrick Coleman was definitely ahead of his time when he came into the league in 90 he definitely revolutionized the stretch power forward position he was a matchup nightmare in New Jersey I think his downfall was he didn't have that OG veteran to mentor him like a Terry Cummings or Moses Malone to show him the way and work on his attitude he definitely had the all-around offensive game.

Such a great video! DC was so talented. I am a Sixers fan and saw him play a lot for us during his two stints, and it was well documented that he didn't work particularly hard and was pretty apathetic. That said, he still put up numbers for us, which shows how truly talented he was. He would've fit in well today - had good size, could handle and shoot it. But, he definitely would've had to work harder than he did when he played. Had he had that deep desire to be great, he really could've been a hall of famer.

[@prestochainjo3543]

The death of Drazen Petrovic in the summer of 1993 was a HUGE stunt bro. The Nets had the former Bad Boys Pistons coach Chuck Daly, Had DC and Petro, who both were All-NBA 3RD TEAM in the 92-93 season and lost to a "battle tested" Cavaliers team in a best of 5 1st round series that went 5 games, and you still had Kenny Anderson who was an ALL-STAR PG the next season in 93-94 along with DC being All-NBA again. And if he were alive in 93-94, Draz would've been ALL-NBA again and an All-Star starter in my opinion, especially with MJ being "retired". The Nets were building something and the death of Petrovic changed the direction of not only DC's career but the entire Nets franchise and that's an Evel Knievel sized stunt that was glossed over

[@kyohnburton6933]

[@MarquisdeSuave]

So after Coleman's 2nd season with New Jersey, a season where he kind of took a step backwards mostly because he was injured, there was talk of Coleman getting traded to Denver for Laphonso Ellis, Bryant Stith and a 1st round pick in 93 and 95. I would have loved to see Coleman play next to a center like Mutombo, a player who knew his role was to protect the rim and rebound and let other players do their thing on offense. As it stood the 6-8 Ellis had a few good seasons in that role next to Mutombo but put Coleman next to him while theyre both in their prime and Coleman goes off. Denver always needed that one player they could count on for 20ppg+ and Coleman would become that guy. Coleman's big issue, especially earlier in his career was defenses collapsing on him whenever he got the ball within the paint. In NJ he REALLY had to work for all of his points because the Nets had guys like Yinka Dare and Dwayne Schintzius playing next to him. They cant do that in Denver because even when they collapse on him he can drop it off to Dikembe. On top of that, Mutombo was a year or two older than Coleman and far more wiser. He could have been that mentor that Coleman needed earlier in his career.

DC represents what Detroit was at that time; flash, intimidation and reputation. As a native Detroiter, it’s easy to see how the basketball culture of the late 80’s and early 90’s laid that foundation. If you simply look at all of our native Detroit talent during that time span you see a plethora of greatness. With that said, they were ALL lazy to a point. From DC, Doug Smith, Victor Alexander, C-Webb, to Maurice Taylor and Robert Traylor, all lazy. I’m not saying that these talents were wasted, what I’m saying is IF they would have WORKED really hard, man o man!

(I always thought lefties were the harder guys to cover because I reflexively tried to stop a righty with my left arm and hand on a shot.) I remember Derrick as a monster forward with the Nets (and later, Detroit), but as you said, he had his demons to battle. (I clearly remember a quote from D. about his attitude on the court and people calling him out for it: "Whoop-dee-damn-do.") Thankful that he's turned his life into a source of motivation and support for others.

He is slightly full of it talking about no veteran mentors though. Over time he had Sam Bowie, Armon Gilliam, and later Rick Mahorn. Maybe no superstar vets but he had guys who were straight professionals. Then again he also had Chris Morris who was a knucklehead extraordinaire.

Detroit will always love Derrick. He has done more for the city then most players from the city and I would guess his unselfishness was a big part of his bankruptcy. I know relatives of his that tell me he's a completely different person now and how he's really trying to give back to Detroit. I also know people who in HS where completely embarrassed by him and his dominating skills. Nothing but love D!

I took a friend to see Derrick Coleman in 1993 versus the Clippers. She said who is number 44? He is amazing... I agreed and she knew almost nothing about basketball. All I knew was basketball. DC was by far the best player at his position and was the best player on the 1994 Dream Team II.

I remember he got paid like a star though. Made over 90 mil for his career. But agreed, I remember when he started with the NJ Nets, dude was a beast. We thought he was the next Barkley.
