    Re: Rings or Respect What would you want.?

    i'd take respect.

    i respect Karl Malone and Patrick ewing more than mark Madsen who has 2 or is it 3 rings.



    People don't remember that guys like jaren jackson or Bill wennington have rings.

    It's all about respect.

    Too bad the respected players all cant have rings.

        I'll Personally take respect over rings because its better to have earned nothing and be in NBA history or have one ring and never be remembered

            You earn respect while winning rings...and the TRULY great players end up winning no matter what. Thats what defines a championship..being the best.

                    This is the biggest bunch of crap I ever heard, "Truly great players end up winning no matter what." Ever heard of George Gervin? He was one of the TRULY great players the NBA has ever seen, he never won a ring. You can't define greatnes by how many championships a guy has won. I got news for you, so much of success depends on circumstances. There are many great players in all sports that found themselves in unfavorable circumstances, but you can never take away anything they did between the lines, because they didn't win it all. If anything, championships can give the illusion of greatness. Ever heard of Lynn Swan?

                        There isn't a single great player in history that wouldn't trade notoriety for championships. Respect means nothing to those who have confidence and pride in themselves. What do you think is more important to Marino, the opinions of fat-*** armchair QB's worldwide or a ring? Respect means d*ck. It's other peoples opinions. How many times have we read that Kobe is only good because of Shaq? Is that respect? Nope. Do ya think Kobe gives a flying f*ck about that? Nope. Keep your respect. If I'm Sir Charles, it doesn't make me feel better that peoople think I was good. Give me a title any day.

                        Of course this doesn't mean Madsen is better than say, Doninique. I'm talking strictly about the great ones.

                            Ya, I'd take rings over respect. Rings are what you play for. Respect will come if you play hard. But to say that any of the great ones who didn't win feel fine about it because they have respect, I dunno about that. Rings are what matter. The title is what matters. Respect will come later.

                                Ever hear of Montana, Russel, Magic, Gretzky, Jordan? These were all TRULY great players who WILLED THEIR teams to win. Look at most OF JORDAN's defining moments, all came from the playoffs en route in winning championships, thats why hes considred the BEST. You can't just put ANY PLAYER on the Bulls to replace Jordan and win 6 titles. The BEST of BEST players ever WON"T let their teams lose, because they had the power to do so. Gervin was a great player...but WON'T EVER be considered the greatest. Do you think Patrick Ewing was content when he retired? Hell NO, he wants a ring, he could give flying crap what people think about him. Think about it...if Ewing led his team to 3 or 4 titles(quite possible) he would been considered a MUCH better player guaranteed.
