Dennis Rodman ?!

Only reason I say him is because he started his career of on a championship team, left to SA who had some success, and then off onto the Bulls who dominated.

Reasonable guess.

rrrrrr!  No.

I do not have a top ten list.  Surely Rodman would be in this.

Based on who posted this question I would guess Manu...but he hasn't played 300 career games yet.  So I'll say Tony Parker.

How about for current player, Shaquille O'Neil, and Kareem and MJ for the bonus.

Bing Bing!

273-100 with Parker in the lineup.  Not sure what Manus record is after 267 games.


The only players since the 1970 season to play at least 300 games and have a higher winning percentage were

#1 Magic Johnson (.740)
#2 Larry Bird (.736). ...
#3 Parker......(.73_) i think he is only one game behind Bird.

Kareem i think top 10 for sure.  Shaq mmnnn maybe.  MJ no way.  Bulls were not much over .500 for his 1st years.

But were killing the rest of the league for 6 years straight that MJ was suited up for them.

I was trying to think what players came in on championship caliber teams and can't believe Tony Parker didnt come to mind.  Speaking of Spurs, I wonder where Duncan is on that list also.  The Spurs have been one of the best teams since they drafted him.
