It's fun bc he has no filter. But he is kinda stupid and stubborn and not mentally flexible enough to make it interesting over the long haul. Funny story about HO slapping some manners into him. Maybe he was better than Shaq...at least over a career.

Terry Cummings don't get the attention and credit he deserves from fans who didn't see him. Cummings doesn't get considered for the Hall of Fame because his stats don't jump off the page, but he was better than Marques Johnson, who he was traded for, but IS in the HOF.... Cummings was strong as an Ox and would wheel and deal on you, like Hakeem.

By the time marquis Johnson was traded ,he was a shell of his former self . Age does that ti everyone's career eventually . Obviously you never watched marquis in his prime !" Late seventies ,early eighties !" All players get old . Terry was a very good young player ,but not a hall of fame kind of talent .There is a reason marquis is in the hall of fame ,and it's not politics,it was his game !"

[@genestevenson-l7v]

In college, Terry Cummings saw Teddy Grubbs, come off the bench and score 29 points against UCLA. Instead of resigning himself to sitting behind Grubbs he said, either Teddy is going to sit or someone else is going to sit. I came here to play. Teddy sat. Teddy Grubbs was maybe the most highly recruited player of his time and Terry Cummings benched him. Outworked him, out toughed him. It changed the trajectory of Teddy Grubbs life.

The story Vernon M . Told about Buck Williams, reminds me of the altercation between Carmelo Anthony and Mardy Collins. When Melo was in Denver.Carmelo was killing the Knicks in that game. And after 1 dunk, Mardy C told Melo if he do that again , he would whoop Melo's ass. The next play Anthony dunks on Collins, and Mardy Collins went after CA. But Carmelo run away😅😅😂. You can watch that clip on the net. Man, I have mad respect to Anthony as a player. And for me he is in the top 3 pure scorers off all time. And I kind off feel bad that he hasn't a championship in his resume. But on that play Mardy C , by the way fringe NBA player and only solid Europlayer owned Mello s ass.🎉

The “rough era” of pro BB really was from 1966 to about 1990. From then on, the league began to crack down.

The "crack down" still happened in slow stages. Karl Malone only got a $7500 fine and 1 game suspension for that brutal elbow that laid Isiah out with 40 stitches. Can't believe Vernon ran into the stands to hit that fan and then 10 games later the same season he was back in a Rockets uniform 😂😂

@@Robsay01 Artest was crazy, but he knew who to be crazy with and who not to. He backed away in fear when Ben Wallace was steaming mad. He didn't dare get crazy with him.
