Sport Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 My roommate and I were having a discussion during the Cavs game about players who became parts of dynasties or championship teams but were really just pretty average in their abilities and probably could've been replaced by a number of players within the league. This is the list we came up with which was only related to basketball players and I can't say that I agree with all of themSteve KerrLuke LongleyKurt RambusJohn Salley Can you guys think of any other from other sports as well.

Moser316 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Craig Counsell would have to be one of them, he figured into the '97 Marlins and '01 D-Backs championships despite being a player of marginal ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Luc Longley, Bill Wennington, Will Perdue, and most of the 90's Bulls not named Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman or Armstrong.Scott Brosius has a few rings, but we can't be sure why. He's a nice guy and all (and yes, even a WS MVP), but is he great? Not in the least. I'm sure there are plenty more -- good topic. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Luc Longley, Bill Wennington, Will Perdue, and most of the 90's Bulls not named Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman or Armstrong.I was just about to post that. If you were a benchwarmer on the 90s Bulls, then you had the best/luckiest job in the WORLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 There are tons. Tons. Scotty Brooks was on the Houston Rockets title teams, I think.I'll just go to my own team. The Twins.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 horryRobert Horry? I disagree. Guys that can consistently hit clutch three pointers have incredible value in NBA. He's lucky for being on all of the championship teams he has (five? six?), but he was also instrumental in those teams winning. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Steve Smith from the Edmonton Oilers, puts the puck in his own net to lose the Cup for his team, but gets a shot the very next year and rides his hall of fame team to a Cup that they shouldve had the year before if not for him.

FiddySicks Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 For years I labeled Derek Jeter as this type of player, but he's definately proven himself in the past few years. I would say:Rob JohnsonRicky ProehlDon BeebeDrew BledsoeFrank ThomasNomar Garciparra (Suer he wasn't physically there, but he still got a ring)I'll think of more later On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

sc49erfan15 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'll go with Trent Dilfer as the epitome of this, with Brad Johnson coming in second. Both average players at best who QBed Super Bowl-winning teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 With football's salary cap leading to such unbalanced teams, it can be an entire team's offensive or defensive unit. Offense: 2000 RavensDefense: '99 Rams, '06 ColtsThe same 2006 Colts defence that won them the Super Bowl? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

TFoA Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 They were great during the postseason, but that defense was historically bad during the regular season. The 2006 Colts arguably had the worst defense to win a Super Bowl ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
