How good was Chris Mullin really? The forgotten Dream Teamer

[@chrisbishop3716]

When I was a kid I went to a basketball camp in upstate New York called "Golden Valley" basketball camp. Chris Mullin visisted one day. His brother was with him and was helping him out. Chris Mullin had his brother rebound and throw him the ball as Chris shot. He asked us kids to count out loud how many shots in a row he made. He hit 50 threes in a row then finished it off with a 360 dunk. I don't know what was more shocking, the 50 threes or the dunk.

My cousin and I were lucky enough to be able to attend his basketball camp for 2 straight summers. One of the best experiences of my life. Seeing his workout routine was insane, the guy never missed. Getting the opportunity to meet and hang out with Chris was surreal, overall cool guy. Attending his camp and learning the fundamentals helped me out in so many ways. Sometimes I wish I could be that age again and do it all over. A true living legend.

[@juddvance7721]

The reason Golden State traded Richmond is that they were desperate for a big man. They wanted Dikembe Mutombo, but couldn't get him. They traded Richmond for Billy Owens, figuring Sarunus Marciulionus (6th man) would fill into Richmond's slot) and Owens would give them the power foward. Nellie was always trying. That same year, in the draft, he took 3 Power Forwards: Victor Alexander, Chris Gatling, and Shawn Vandiver, hoping one of the three of them or Owens would work. None of them did. They drafted well the next two years: Latrell Sprewell (#24 in 1992) and Chris Webber (#1 in 1993), but Nellie burned the bridge with Webber before they could put together the Tim/Chris/Spree/Webber quartet. Sad thing is, if they could have worked out the Richmond trade BEFORE the draft, they would have been drafting #3 and could have taken Mutombo.

His ideas would go over well in today's game.

[@juddvance7721]

@@mondoshredder5783 Not really. The "Twin Towers" were Ralph Sampson and Akeem Olajuwon in Houson from 1984-87. Houston traded Sampson to Golden State for Sleepy Floyd and Joe Barry Carroll because they were desperate for guard play after drug suspensions took out two of their guards. They struggled with guard play until Kenny Smith/Sam Cassell/Vernon Maxwell put it together in 1994. The Sampson pick-up pre-dates Nelson, Richmond, and Hardaway. I think GS just saw "Superstar potential" in Sampson without realizing his knees were shot, and probably wanted to get rid of Carroll by any means necessary. They barely played together one year and then put together 3/4 of a year, but Sampson was averaging 17 min/game that year, so I don't think twin towers was the goal. Bol was such an offensive liability, that he couldn't be considered anything more than a spot player, rather than the consistent player needed for a twin tower system (such as David Robinson & TIm Duncan down the road): 6'7" Rod Higgins and 6'8" Larry Smith was beating both of them out of minutes. Nelson was playing a lot of small ball with TMC, Terry Teagle, Otis Smith, and Winston Garland. Seeing all of that frustration kind of makes you see why Nelson was so desperate to get help and trade Richmond for Owens.

Mase' D'ed everyone from Tim Hardaway to Alonzo Mourning competently, in terms of sheer versatility on d is in the rarified air that is occupied by Pip, Worm and Draymond, not to take anything away from other great defenders like Alvin, Sidney Moncrief or Michael Ray or bigs like Buck, Larry Nance, the aforementioned Oak, A.C. et.al but the breadth and width of Mase, versatility wise is more impressive a feat.

Mullin is not forgotten , he just does get the ink Bird, Magic and Jordan get as he didn't have the good fortune of playing on great teams that won championships so not many games shown on classic sports TV. . 2 Olympic Golds and,one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, he was never about flash but his 51 % fg for 16 years, 18 ppg , 39 % 3 pts, dream teams , tremendous passer and court smarts and many other reasons got him in the Hall of Fame so how forgotten is he ? A superstar who stood out even when not always on the best of teams. He has the respect of all the greats he played against. A monster since his NYC HS days, he's an all time NBA legend. .By the way what goes unmentioned is early on at GS a large part of his problem was he was being frozen out by teammates, specifically Joe Barry "Apathy" Carrol and Sleepy Floyd, who deservedly earned the tag of the most selfish player in the NBA. Bird said he had a shooting contest with Mullin during Dean Team days, Chris jumped to an early lead, Bird came back, same thing again, then when Bird caught up and the score tied Bird quit and told Mullin " I never lost one of these in my life and I'm not going to start now.

[@michaelsloane9955]

Chris Mullin is on the bubble as far as the Hall of Fame goes. 5 All star Appearances is somewhat low for a Hall of Famer and he was only 1st Team All NBA 1ce in 1992. But his peak was pretty strong. From the 1989 to the 1993 seasons, Mullin had 5 consecutive seasons of averaging over 25 points per game. He also averaged at least 3.5 assists per game in those five years with at least 4 assists per game in 3 of those seasons. He also averaged at least 5 rebounds per game in each of those 5 seasons. To be a 25 point per game scorer for 5 consecutive seasons is very impressive. You add 5-6 rebounds 3.5-4 assists per game in that same stretch and you've had a pretty productive holistic run. He was also efficient shooting in the low 50s from the field and low to high 80s at the line in his prime.. A negative is that he never played in a conference finals in this prime stretch and the Warriors missed the playoffs altogether in 2 of those 5 years. (Though they did pull off a pair of 7 over 2 upsets in 1989 over the Jazz and 1991 over the Spurs.) It's a very close call. Ultimately, I would've been a yes vote on Mullin if I had had 1 owing to just how impressive his individual peak was, especially the 5 straight seasons of over 25 points per game on always above 50% shooting. He got in in 2011.

One of the other passengers asked Mr. Mullin if he was there for the exhibition and then the passenger started on about how great LeBron James was. Mr. Mullin was extremely gracious, not mentioning he was on the original Dream Team but affirming the other gentleman’s opinion. When both got off the elevator before we did, another person still in the elevator stated “ Man, that guy didn’t even know that was Chris Mullin.” A great ball player who is retired but not succumbing to the need to point out his basketball pedigree.

It’s not as if an opposing teams had to stop what they were doing to game plan against Mullin-I’m willing to bet there was a bit more effort to game plan against Chambers. Chambers torched Golden State(and Mullin) for a then career high of 56 points back in the 1989-90 season. He would then validate that performance with a 60 point outburst against the Sonics 2 weeks later. There is no disrespect directed at Mullin necessarily but there should be a bit more attention drawn towards Tom Chambers’ career considering that he scored more career points(over 20,000) than some who are garnering Hall of Fame consideration. I’m a fan of a sweet lefty jumper as much as the next guy but Chambers deserves more attention than he’s been given in retrospective. He’s more than the guy who jumped over Mark Jackson...

I think he’s from Brooklyn man. I remember us going down to Kings Plaza where he lived balling with him those were the good old days.

[@ScottDusty]

I saw Documentary about that a Chicago sports writer Rick Telander made it. I was surprised to hear how great of a playground player he was I’ve seen Mullin play up close a lot of times when he played the Bulls and he was one of the greatest I’ve ever seen he was just so fundamental he made everything look so easy. Even though they play different positions Tim Duncan played a lot like Mullin of course Mullin didn’t have the post up and Duncan wasn’t a 3pt shooter but both those guys were just so relaxed

[@neiljohnson5079]

He played at Xaverian in Brooklyn...

[@abdurraheem1970]

WOW, my nephew goes to that school.

[@imnotasfunnyasithinkiam1445]

Yea he was great. I was fortunate enough to see the Dream Team play in Portland before the Olympics. that was great and he was great and I agree today's game he'd have scored close to 30 a game.

[@Turk_2023]

When he was young for about 6 years He`s like a version of Paul Pierce who could run off screens like Ray Allen but he slowed down sooner than they did because of injuries. They messed up trading Mitch. Also anyone remember why the traded Cwebb after 1 succesful season? I forget

[@bulwyf2572]

RUN TMC in today's game would be literally unstoppable. You could call the game at halftime. They would simply run everyone out of the building with what those three could do. Guys like Mullin and Detlef would FEAST in today's everyone and their mamma shoot three NBA. I also think it has to be PRAISED that Mullin had a serious addiction and instead of giving into it he overcame it to be a legit all time great. Dude deserves respect.

[@GregoryCJohnsonJrkollybistes23]

One of my favorite players, I was a left-handed shooter as well. The best player not to win an NBA championship, however, he had achieved almost every or many awards as a player... There two reasons why Mullin, didn't earn an NBA championship: JORDAN & BRYANT ...... Mullin is the GOAT of natural left-handed players!!! His achievements as a player are numerically exceptional, great work!

[@uboii]

My all time favorite warrior.

[@cliffhill5058]

Glad you bring everyone the true stars of the NBA

[@death2denemy]

Daym!! I was really just about to suggest this one..

[@MrPurplePeopleEater0]

Chris Mullin's got some Larry Legend in his game. One of the best

[@MP-tf7cc]

Mullen was the best shooter in the world in 1992, & a very good passer.

[@ThePhonequeen3]

Mullin wasn't flashy or terribly outspoken. He mastered the fundamentals of the game and focused on those. He didn't play for any of the legendary NBA teams of that era. While a man like that might be easy for fans to overlook the important thing is that every opponent of his never had that luxury.

[@Zett76]

To be honest, I've been a huge fan of the NBA since The Dream Team, but never noticed Mullin much - that's why I asked myself a few times: what was this guy doing in the Dream Team (along with Laettner)? Thanks for clearing that up, he deserves more respect.

[@feverpa]

Certainly not a great all-around player, but straight up one of the best pure shooters in the history of the game. His form was so pure, that he could score from almost any spot on the floor, with almost any body position. As long as he could get the shot off, he had a good chance of scoring.

[@brianjones6465]

Bird said he had a hard time keeping up with Chris...enough said.

[@bigkeith1022]

YEah that carries alot of weight... I mean that sincerely. Not being sarcastic at all.

[@X1xone]

Mullin never stopped moving on the court. Kind of like watching Curry or Thompson running around the court these days to get the open jump shot.

[@bigkeith1022]

@@X1xone that's always been a long time warrior strategy since run tmc. That's why there are similarities.

[@kingbeeris8814]

That's facts . Jordan said he was his most difficult opponent he ever played against cuz he couldn't stop his shot

[@brgreg8725]

I loved Run-TMC! Also there’s a good story about a Bird/Mullin 3-point shootout on the Dream Team.

[@bizil100]

At his best, a top 3- 4 SF in the world! His prime came after the true Golden Era of SF's. But he was in that area with Bird, Nique, and Pippen at the top of the SF chart. He shot 51%FG, 87%FT, and 38%3PT for his career! Plus he was a great passing SF as well. He played with a great PG in Timmy. So he didn't need to be the primary playmaker on his squads. BUT if he had to, no doubt he could have averaged 7 dimes a night. The injury bug in his late 20s-early 30s cut his prime years off earlier than many of the other greats. BUT among the SF's peak-prime wise, I think he was top 15 caliber of all time.

[@davidjsouth231]

One of my favorites

[@averyce2]

Deceptively quick. Sniper shooting skills. Endurance of a marathon runner. Perfect complimentary player for a superstar. Loved his game!

[@terrymalloy3541]

Chris was very very good. He was and still is the real deal. Legit. The Great Ervin Johnson sung his praises

[@lescud]

Imagine in an alternate universe Run TMC with Webber joining in...

[@f13edz]

One of the greatest midrange to 3 point shooters to play the game

[@steffomatic]

thx for this vid. imho way underated guy. ive always been a big fan of mullin. one of the best shooting skills - from any spot of the court. not the fastest guy, and not so explosive, but he didnt need this for his game. he couldve easily played for one of the top 90s teams like bulls, jazz, knicks etc starting lineup or 6th man. he wouldve collected his minutes per game.

[@mlbolts72]

Thanks for this video Loved chris mullin ❤🏀💪

[@retroboxingdocumentaries4817]

he was solid

[@sabirabdul-lateef5352]

Can you do one on Rod Strickland? Best guard to never make all star game.
