RE: all-time teams

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

How can anybody sit Antoine Walker behind Dino Radja?  I mean, 
come on.  And believe me, if Paul Pierce had played on those late Bird
teams he would be a bad-ass road player as well.  What really would have
been great is if Antoine had learned the game on court from Larry, the way
Scottie Pippin did from Michael.  Antoine has pretty much been learning in a
vacuum as far as oncourt examples go.  The "veterans" have been people like
Frank Brickowski and Dana Barros.
