@@yellowduck-2024you don’t get the skills and fundamentals he had without a work ethic. He had an enlarged heart issue, and unfortunately a number of injuries.
@DJR33333 Charles Barkley said that Derrick Coleman had the potential to be among the all-time greats if he had worked harder. Karl Malone said Derrick Coleman had the talent to be the best power forward in the NBA but he didn't want to play to his full potential. Derrick Coleman was a beast
Alonzo Mourning & Larry Johnson were 2 tanks down low, wish they could have played together longer.Charlotte were a fun team to watch back then. Derek Coleman what a game.
The Hornets had a really good team. They were probably a player away from seriously contending for a title. It's too bad they couldn't stay together and build a team for more than a couple of seasons.
DC had all the tools to be one of the all-time great power forwards.
Except work ethic
and mental toughness@@yellowduck-2024

They didn't get along, and it showed in the Heat-Knicks series
The problem was they hated each other.
The good old days of post move ❤
Derrick Coleman won this matchup in scoring, rebounding, and defense.

Coleman against his future team
LJ!!!!
Love your upload, thank you!
👍
Watching this in 2024 made me realize how limited LJ’s offensive game was early in his career!
No way LJ better. Played less games, less block, less rebounds...statically speaking cant think of what he did better look at stats
Larry was better than Coleman . Coleman needed help from all his teammates in order to stop lj
GRANDMAMA
Chris Dudley was the greatest player ever
Bernard king was still playing?
Yup
He retired after that season
