Fifty entries on "Tiny" and not a word was spoken? I remember this guy vividly. I probably had a better view than most of the guys he blew by when they feebly attempted to stop him from controlling pretty much every game that he ever played in. When a guy is barely over six feet tall and can move the ball up the court with lightening speed before deciding whether he's going to burn you personally or pass it to one of his friends so that they can score on one of your friends, this is a challenge that deserves your respect. Nate Archibald was the only player in the history of the N.B.A. to lead the league in both scoring and assists in the same season. He played in six All Star games (winning the MVP in 1981) and helped lead the Celtics to the league championship in 1981. He was named as one of the top fifty players in NBA history and made the Hall of Fame in 1991. Only great players make the Hall. Ratings from "Terrible" to "OK" do both the reviewer and the player a disservice.
