No one at the time ever thought Zeke was like a top 3 player in the league at the time either.
He didn't get MVP votes, only 3 all NBA first teams.
The badboy pistons were great team but on depth and defense.
The best offensive player always gets overrated on those type of teams.
Because the other guards were Magic & Jordan
Stop playing with Zeke. Steph has surpassed him…but Zeke is one of the few little guys that was REALLY up there, competing like that. #2 pick, Damn near 20 & 10 out the gate…and the best player on a great team with multiple chips and deep runs.
That counts for a lot. And he only played like 12 years himself
