Uh, Isiah????
I love idiots who use the past history of other players as a guarantee of future failures.
No scoring champion had won an NBA title in 20 years before Jordan did it in 1991....
You guys should make up a list of undersized PGs who've won the championship since the last time he mentioned.
PGs 6'1" (zeke's height) and under to start on an NBA championship team....
1950: Herm Schaefer
1951: Bob Davies
1952: Slater Martin
1953: Slater Martin
1954: Slater Martin
1957: Bob Cousy
1958: Slater Martin
1959: Bob Cousy
1960: Bob Cousy
1961: Bob Cousy
1962: Bob Cousy
1963: Bob Cousy
1964: Bob Cousy
1965: Bob Cousy
1981: Nate Archibald
1983: Maurice Cheeks
1989: Isiah Thomas
1990: Isiah Thomas
1999: Avery Johnson
2006: Jason Williams
2008: Rajon Rondo
2009: Derek Fisher
Rondo is only 6'1"?
I'd consider 6'1" an undersized PG, but I think he was referring to guys under 6', since he said Paul was listed at 6' but he's probably closer to 5'10".
every player on that list is at most 1 inch taller than chris paul. And no, I don't buy that he's really 5'10."
Even if you wanted to use the 5'10" standard, Avery Johnson is only that tall, and he started on a title team only 10 years ago.
CP3 is 5'11 3/4" with no shoes if I believe the Draftexpress pre-draft measures.
And since listings are based on height with shoes (or whatever the team wants to say, really), then he'd be 6'1" or so. Everyone on that list would fit.
