Nice guy,but injury prone. What a shame,he deserved better. I had a chance to actually meet him and get his autograph a few years back in Dallas when he was a T-Wolve. Nice guy,but injury prone.

I have 335 different trading cards of his and have been a fan of his since 1992. I liked him cause he was one of the most all around players ever, he could do anything, just look at his stats. It's too bad he became so injury prone during his time with the suns, he missed tons of games and was lost in the shuffle. He really started to make a nice comeback in his stint with the Hawks in 2005, got more playing time, shot more 3s and really turned it up. I wish he could make a brief comeback and just get to 10,000 career pts. Googs is probably my fav player ever. I have 335 different trading cards of his and have been a fan of his since 1992.

He could do it all, score, rebound, pass and play defense. His greatest asset to the teams he played on was his ability to draw the defenses attention, this opened up a lot of room in the offense for his team mates. He also made some of the greatest moves I have ever seen, in one game against Denver in 01, Phoenix was on a fast-break and Jason Kidd dished it to Googs on the wing about 10-12 feet from the basket. Googs set his feet caught the ball, up faked his defender high up into the air, and then went by him for the slam. That move brought every one in America West Arena to their feet. A couple of knocks though. Like Christian Laettner he never lived up to his potential. People were making comparison of him to Larry Bird for a reason, he had enormous talent. I felt he never stood up for himself and demanded the ball more, like a star player should. He seemed ready to play the role players game, and that was beneath him. When he put his mind to it he could go out and score between 25-35 points, 8-12 boards, 3-6 assists and 2-4 steals a contest. What he needed was more of the killer Bird instinct.

Or was it 2005? @brian
