Who Are Actually The GREATEST Role Players In NBA History?
Спорт
When the NBA Playoffs are here, we are always looking to see which teams (star players cough cough) are going to take their team over the edge and push them throughout the playoffs. However, for some basketball fans, we know the stars are going to ball out, but in close playoff series, it's the role players that actually win you the series, not the stars...
So it got me thinking... Who are actually the greatest role players in NBA history? The ones that know what they need to do at all times, and do it at the highest level. Well, this is that video, but there are a couple of twists in this video that you may not be expecting...

The year after they won the championship i believe, four Detroit Pistons did make the all star team, Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace and I believe Rasheed Wallace. He was the lone starter of the Pistons left off the all-star team.

@IronJonny he wasn't better than young Horry who was being compared to Pippen. Go watch the 95-Finals.
Seeing how many 90s bulls players are in this video it's a nice reminder that those teams were more than just Jordan or even him pippen and rodman. Those teams all around were just stacked.
Barry was insane. He could do everything. He just did it so damn quietly. Which is also insane since he was a slam dunk champion.

Bruce Bowen should have been there for defense. He was an amazing defender for the Spurs in the 2000s and key to the there championship runs.
Stars are obviously important to any team but having key role players can alter a series. You have to look beyond the stats to see the impact certain players have. There's a reason that Big Shot Rob is a 7-time NBA Champion. Shoutout to Shane Battier; one my favorite "glue guys" during his Houston years.

This might come off blasphemous at first but I think it's Dennis Rodman. Think about it the guy averaged 7 points a game, averaged 3-6 shots a game and less then 2 assist per game. He was a massive liability on offense to score. With that said the point of a "role player" is to be told to do something and that is what they do. Rodman was told to play defense and rebound and did both amazing.

showing a clip of vucievic* on the lakers and saying end of the bench players is wild cause you gotta be at least a solid role player to play the same position as kobe and be on the court with him.
Bruce Bowen did more kickboxing than scoring. Capping the 3-and-D list with him is WILD
