Favorite Hog in NBA History

three · January 31, 2006, 09:33:21 pm

Who's your favorite hog to ever play in the NBA? Who's the best??

I'd say the best is between Moncrief and Alvin Robertson (because of his play-off performances).

But my favorite was Day and Mayberry together in Milwaukee. I remember living in Orlando when they came to town, and they were the only ones on that team who could play, and it showed. Oliver Miller in that rookie season looked like he was going to be one of the best. I thought Barkley would keep him from getting to fat, especially when he said "If Oliver Miller can learn to put the Big Macs down, he could be one of the best big men in the game." Sad that he never learned to stop freakin eating!!!

Corliss Willamson

Corliss Williamson is my all time fav Razorback B-Baller period. However, Joe Johnson is starting to creep up the favorit NBA Hog list. He is playing great right now even if it is with the Hawks.

Brewer is creeping up my list too though. But BIG NASTY was DA MAN!

Joe Johnson is my favorite in the NBA.

My favorite player that ever played for the razorbacks was scottie thurman. but he never made it to the NBA.

Yeah, what's up with that. Mr. Clutch can't make it! Why? He was an underrated defender, a great scorer, a better rebounder than most thought, and made shots in crunch time at the college level more consistantly than Michael Jordan himself. I'm still mad about that!!!

Sidney Moncrief was far and away the best Hog ever in the NBA. Corliss is my favorite because I know his family well and he is all class.

I think Thurman just made a huge mistake by declaring after his jr. year and getting an agent. He would have really benefitted by that extra year. But his shot beating the shot clock vs. Duke, i don't think i'll ever forget. I was just about 8-9 years old, but i remember being thrilled to death that I got to stay up late to watch the HOGS win the National Championship. Great Night!!

Of couse Todd Day. Favorite hog player of all time. I wish he could have had a better pro career, but it's ok he's still my fav. of all time.

BentonvilleJeff · January 31, 2006, 09:55:24 pm

Moncrief was definitely the most successful NBA Hog ever. But, my personal favorite is Darrell Walker. The man could play some stingy defense and he got a ring with the Bulls.

Sir Sid

Brewerfan10 · January 31, 2006, 10:05:01 pm

was Moncrief or any other hog ever an all-star, sorry if that is a stupid question, i was born in 1986 so that was before my time

jforte · January 31, 2006, 10:06:07 pm

Sir Sid was defensive player of the year 2 years in a row.

BORN2PIG · January 31, 2006, 10:07:51 pm

TooooooooooooDD DaaaaaaaaaaaaY

sowmonella · January 31, 2006, 10:09:10 pm

Moncrief was one of the 3 best of his time in the NBA. A Superstar.

PIGOPOTTIEMUS · January 31, 2006, 10:13:51 pm

Todd Day wasnt his shot just darn right pretty

Tejano Jawg · January 31, 2006, 10:32:47 pm

Sid. His athletic ability and tough defense made his transition to the pros pretty smooth. One of his D-Player-of-the-Year seasons, he was on the cover of SI again. Good close-up shot as I remember.

Also, regarding NBA All-Stars...YES...it was great when Sidney and Alvin started the All-Star game one year against each other. That was pretty nice UA representation.

thats exactly right.. none of the other hogs can say that about their careers.

dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya · January 31, 2006, 10:37:38 pm

NBA??? EASY. Sidney..no doubt about it.

If you say anybody else, you never saw Sir Sid drive the lane....

mountainhog · January 31, 2006, 10:39:09 pm

sir sid was my favortie college player too. but corliss and beck are right in there too, refuse to lose attitude , thats what i liked about them.

mountainhog · January 31, 2006, 10:41:43 pm

Scott Hastings---inventor of the "shoe-cam."

mojobeaux · January 31, 2006, 10:45:25 pm

moncrief and robertson. also were my favorites while at the u.

moncrief was a star.

robertson may have made the all-star team....not sure. was on the nba all defensive first team more than once, and set some kind of steals record, which has since been broken. for his size he was one tough cat. rebounded well and could go to the hole with a nasty attitude. never got pushed around, and was that guy that you look up and say, "damn, he's covering me."

rebounding. defense. toughness. we should bring them back for some scrimmages.
