On right now. Clyde, Pistol Pete, Phil Jackson, Bill Bradley...Vintage NBA with your morning coffee.
I read a biography on Pistol

Pete a couple of years back. Press, his old man, made Richard Williams look like a hands off father. Press was insane.

Imagine Pistol in today's sports landscape. He'd be one of the more polarizing athletes in sports.

I’d forgotten how dominant Pete could be, in this game he had 61 pts and was all-around solid, contrasting the “Globetrotter” rep that was falsely hung on him.
That old game was eye-opening. Much less contact compared to now but much quicker action, great passing, defense(!), and everyone hit their free throws. Forgot how feisty Phil was, he even got hit with a T for fighting, lol.

The physical play really peaked in the 1990's, with the Knicks and Pistons leading the way. Those Knick/Piston games would end in 81-75 score, usually with Ewing tackling anyone who entered the paint

Definitely top 10 of my most despised athletes ever. He still came off like a prick in that 30 for 30 on those Pistons teams.
Pistol in this NBA?

2010s NBA? He'd be unstoppable and by far the biggest star in sports not just the NBA.
