6th Man (all time)

[ELTEXAN]

However you construct your all-time starting 5, who do you think would be the best 6th man off the bench?

 

[ELTEXAN]

KD.

 

[White Knight]

Mortimer Snerd.

 

[Fish]

Hondo

 

[Nosferatu]

McHale

 

[Kburjr]

Junior Bridgeman

i think of a 6th man as person coming off the bench that scores. from that perspective, i'd go steph curry.

Neither were a 6th man.

Neither were a 6th man.

The OPs original suggestion was Kevin Durant. Think the premise is a good sixth man for an all time great team

Ok. Re reading it, I can understand that. I read it to be best 6th man not the 6th best player.

It’s neither. It’s the best player to be a 6th man to come off the bench for whatever all-time starting 5 you might choose.

When The Microwave got hot, look out! And it was like Chuck Daly knew when to perfectly send him in. I felt like that guy never missed against the Lakers. Every time he came in, I was nervous.

That said, I nominate Michael Cooper.
