Dahntay is the greatest, sort of.

... Chucky Brown ... is the second player to win an NBA title and CBA title in the same season! ...

Don't leave us hanging -- who was the first?

You now what else Dahntay Jones has? An NBA ring.

I'm a fan.

Me, too.
Reuben Fisherbaum reads like a dope. A bunch of tortured, and at the same time, exhaustingly obvious columns. Gosh, I sure do hate the wapo.

Sorry, no. But I have held the Stanley Cup. Maybe I won that?

Dahntay is the greatest. No one will ever top the spontaneous pushups after a dunk. Anyone else who tries is just copying him.

ETA: I love Shelden going over to Dahntay to pick him up

Wouldn't you like to know...LOL! I have no idea.

I hope you were wearing gloves. Do you know where that thing has been?

Chuck Nevitt currently works where I work. I see him walking around now and then.

Of the several billion people who have played basketball, he is currently among the 500 best in the world.

How would you rank in your chosen profession worldwide?

Entertaining article, but there is ZERO shame in being a 10+ NBA veteran.

Dante is a winner in life.

Worldwide? I don't think I'm in the top 500 right here at work (and that includes being ranked well behind FerryFor50 who is 1 floor below me and and Chuck Nevitt who's 1 building away and really really tall).

Dahntay stayed in the league because he could play defense and he had a little Nate James Badass in him.

I still haven't read the article, but it seems that the essence of it lacks logic...ANY guy who can hang around the league for 10 or more years (competing for a roster spot year after year against lots and lots of talent)
has to be bringing something important to the team...generally things like attitude, leadership and defense.

But so does James McAdoo (actually, he has two of them). I'm not sure this argument holds a lot of water...

I'd take a ring. Imagine the local car commercials you could do wearing that thing.

Sad to see Jack Haley miss this list. 9 seasons, 2.9 win shares. Confidant to The Worm.

It is like the folks who wrote that article barely did any research.

Alan Anderson - 7.4 WS in 8 seasons
Randy Foye - 23.5 WS in 11 seasons
Joel Anthony - 15.3 WS in 10 seasons
Jamal Tinsley - 17.2 WS in 11 seasons
Mike James - 22.3 WS in 13 seasons
But they all pale in comparison to Melvin Ely... 4.0 WS in 9 seasons. That's impressive.

I feel like the thought process was:

"Man, I don't like Dahntay Jones. Remember when we were UVA undergrads and he did those push ups after a dunk? How is he still in the NBA?"

"Yea let's write an article about how crappy he is."

"How should we do it?"

"Let's include some random guys we picked out of a hat."

"Deal."

They did recognize Dahntay brings something to the game that's kept him around.

Dante's agent should probably get a raise.
