What will you remember Willie for?

For me its quite easy to overlook his performance last season as a lot of it was masked by an entire team being crap. The highlights of his time with Adelaide are far more prominent. I would not hesitate for a minute to bring him back if the decision was mine. Whatever the issues were last year, I don't believe for a minute that he would have continued on the same path. He still had a lot to give. Even last season, we were lucky to witness some of his special magic on court that made him the much loved player that he was of the past.

Ben no doubt he had his 'sook' era - but why remeber him by that when he gave us much better memories?

And of course we are all hoping the new imports in fact all the players are more like team players than last years display!

Surely people wont remember him for some of last season's below par efforts.

If you had seen almost any of his games from 02 than that is most defintly what he should be remebered by.

For me its the Semi Finals vs Vic Titans - Game 3 the sheer confidence he had in himself and the team and got the job done (not just in the game but also pre-game, he had an air of no chance they were losing that night), no one particular move or play but just a whole game of solid lockdown D (somewhat uncharacteristic for Willie). And some killer crossovers coupled with that sweet fade away.

33 points, 5/7 3pts, 6 assists and 8 rebounds.

And an awesome team 4th quarter to outscore them 30-17!

And a close second the pic Pasadena 94 posted - Baby Jordan!

Dunk on Melvin was amazing. I also remember Willie for his playoff series in 02. He should have got the MVP that year.
