I am talking about the one we had, not the shell he became. He seemed to be a pro athlete without an ego. A rare thing.

He and K-stat used to laugh about stuff later all the time.

Totally agree. I don't think Hunter was ever consistent as an offensive player (man, he could lay some bricks on his jump shot) but one of the best on-the-ball defenders I've ever seen play the game. Easy guy to root for as he fit the blue-collar "Deeeetroit Basketballll" style of play.

I remember when he first came in he used to try to dunk on mfers all the time.

He was aggressive as hell offensively as a rookie, wasn't he? Failure at the nuances of PG play seemed to wreck that.

Yeah, they tried to get him to be more than he was right away. And also he got swatted a hell of a lot that first season, too.

The Guy · 02-07-2011, 12:06 PM

I remember he was super fast with his dribble, though. He really could move with the ball.
