    TAMtalizied's TTM Basketball Thread

    Good day fellow collectors. I am a newbie when it comes to TTM, but I am hoping to learn from each of you, and hopefully I can share some of my successes, or fails with you all.

    My goal with this thread is to post each success I get back, and tell you a bit about the history of each player for those interested. Also, this will act as a TTM manager/tracker for me as well.

    Thanks!! Looking forward to sharing some stuff with y'all!!

    PURCHASED - This is not a success, it is a purchase for obvious reason.

    The legendary Mr Basketball:

    George Lawerence Mikan Jr (June 18, 1924 – June 1, 2005)
    - Nickname: Mr. Basketball

    - Brief Background:(Source: Wikipedia)
    Invariably playing with thick, round spectacles, the 6 ft 10 in 245 lb. Mikan is seen as one of the pioneers of professional basketball, redefining it as a game of so-called big men with his prolific rebounding, shot blocking and his talent to shoot over smaller defenders with his ambidextrous hook shot, result of his own Mikan Drill.
    Mikan had a successful player career, winning seven NBL, BAA and NBA championships, an All-Star MVP trophy, three scoring titles and being member of the first four NBA All-Star and the first six All-BAA and All-NBA Teams. Mikan was so dominant that he caused several rule changes in the NBA, among them widening the foul lane—known as the "Mikan Rule"—and introducing the shot clock.

    - Accomplishments:
    5× BAA/NBA champion (1949-1950, 1952-1954)
    2× NBL champion (1947-1948)
    NBL Rookie of the Year Award (1946)
    NBL Most Valuable Player (1948)
    2× NBL season scoring leader (1947-48)
    3× NBA season scoring leader (1949-51)
    NBA All-Star Game MVP (1953)
    4× NBA All-Star (1951–1954)
    6× All-BAA/NBA First Team (1949–1954)
    Greatest Player of the First Half-Century (1950)
    NBA 25th Anniversary Team (1970)
    NBA 35th Anniversary Team (1980)
    NBA 50 Greatest Players (1996)

    GIFT - This is a gift from an awesome member (SPauthentic84)

    Today I introduce to you "The Chief":

    Robert Lee Parish
    - Nickname: The Chief


    - Brief Background:    (Source: Wikipedia)
    Mr Parish was known for his strong defense and jump shooting, and was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003. In 1996, Parish was also named as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. His nickname was The Chief, after the fictitious Chief Bromden, a silent, giant Native American character in the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. According to Parish, former Celtics forward Cedric Maxwell gave him this nickname because of his stoic nature.
    Mr Parish was a versatile center, using his 7' size and speed to contain opposing players, launch precise shots from outside the paint, and finish fast breaks - the latter uncanny for a man of his stature. Fellow Hall of Famer and teammate from 1985-87 Bill Walton once called Parish the "greatest shooting big man of all time", perhaps because of Parish's field goal and free throw shooting ability, an unusual talent among most centers. His trademark was his high release jump shot, which traversed a very high arc before falling.

    - Accomplishments:
    4× NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986, 1997)
    9× NBA All-Star (1981–1987, 1990–1991)
    All-NBA Second Team (1982)
    All-NBA Third Team (1989)
    NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team
    #00 Retired by the Boston Celtics
