: These are the ones I have found so far:
: Wilt Chamberlain
: Michael Jordan
: Charles Barkley
: Magic Johnson
: Isiah Thomas
: Bill Bradley
: Bill Walton
: almost all 1995 first round draft picks (the ones that didn't work
: were Childress, Alexander, Williamson
: some 2nd round picks (Burrough and Edney worked, Roe didn't)
: Could someone find out if any of the following work?
: Julius Erving
: Willis Reed
: Len Bias
: Hank Gathers
: Bernard King
: Dave DeBusschere (be careful with the spelling, this may not be right)
: Calvin Murphy

Second round pick Chris Carr of the Phoenix Suns is a secret player also.

Corliss Williamson works if you enter it as C. Williamson, and I think this
works for Childress too.

First of all, Magic is better than Bird. Five rings to three. Second of
all, Jordan is better than both, three rings and counting and look at his
career stats. Also, Magic and Bird were average defenders and Jordan is
a great defensive player.

Comparing players by the number of Championship rings they have is
ludicrous. Does that mean Kurt Rambis (at least 3 rings with the Lakers)
is better than Julius Erving, who only managed 1 ring?
And even if you do compare players by the number of rings they have, how
can Jordan be better than Magic?

First, Bird was the best all around player. Name one other guy you would
want taking the last shot in a game. (maybe Michael, but not from the free
throw line.) He was a better offensive rebounder than most people in the
league. Good defensive rebounder, great passer (especially the entry pass
in the box), and a great shooter from anywhere on the court. Magic was
great, with his passing exhibitions but wasn't a great shooter. he alsoo
had one of the best lineups around him (Jabbar, Worthy, Scott, Cooper).
Michael is a totally incredible athlete. He was an above average shooter,
good passer and mediocre rebounder. Of the three he is the best defender
by far. His one major flaw along with Magic's is the free throw line.
Magic around mid to high 80% range. Same for Michael. This is a very
critical part of the game. But nonetheless all three are with out a doubt
the three greatest players in any order.
Second, Ewing? ARE YOU NUTS? Get a clue! He isn't even in the same league
as Hakeem Olajuwon, Russel, Cowens, or Chamberlin. Ewing has no leadership
qualities. Where were they last year when the Bricks needed someone to
step forward and and take control? He was too busy bitching and crying
about the ownership and other players. Riley questioned his leadership
last year and ewing went in the tank. If he was a real leader he would
have taken the players aside and gotten them to play together. Russel has
11 rings because he got the players to unite and play as a team. Number
wise, Olajuwon is supreme. Nuff said.
Thirdly, Championships as determining a players greatness? BILL RUSSEL.

I started this thread to discuss hidden players in NBA Live 96. I
suggest you take you idle chit-chat elsewhere, since you're the only
two that care about this matter. Try starting your own thread.
