"What would you do if James rushed towards you while on the court?"
When someone threw this tricky question to Rick Mahon, Rick Mahon laughed and said, "I can only honestly hide aside." ”
The top villain in NBA history, now 58 years old, said he would hide when James rushed in, and the years seemed to have made the villain weak. Perhaps, Rick Mahon said the same thing as Byrd, when responding to Kobe's Dream Ten can beat Dream One, Bird's cold sentence made Kobe dumb: "Dream Ten can beat the Dream Team, we haven't played for more than 20 years, after all, we are all 60-something old men." ”
Rick Mahon was a big man in the '80s and '90s, and most players tingled in their scalps when facing Rick Mahon's defenses. In the Pistons Bad Boy Army of that year, Lambier was a provocative guy, and when it was really necessary to fight with the opponent with fists to flesh and real guns, the Pistons needed Rick Mahon, an iron-boned hunk.
Rick Mahon is 2 meters 08 meters, weighs 220 pounds, in the 80s and 90s this kind of big, fierce muscle stick is a lot. Rick Mahon can also enjoy the title of gold medal thug in a group of muscle sticks, he needs to practice a protective body, as well as the fierceness of fighting and the brute force of being beaten.
Rick Mahon was born into a single-parent family, and when Rick Mahon was very young, Mahon's father abandoned his wife and children. Mahon's mother worked hard to raise Mahon as an adult. Rick Mahon once recalled that most poor single-parent families like him would apply for government relief, but Mahon's mother was strong and self-reliant, cleaning, doing things like property management, supporting the family independently, and raising several of Mahone's older brothers and sisters to become college students.
At that time, Rick Mahon did not complete the credits successfully due to his participation in the draft at the university, and he did not get a degree for the time being. Later, Mahone's mother died, and in order to fulfill his mother's last wish to let her son go to college, Mahone, who had been retired for many years, finally completed his college studies with credits.
While in high school, Mahone studied both rugby and basketball, and Mahone was more talented in rugby, and many universities offered Mahone rugby scholarships. But Mahone finally chose basketball and entered Mahone Hampton College, majoring in basketball.
Although he did not end up playing rugby, Mahone unleashed his talent for playing rugby on the pitch.
In 1980, the Washington Bullets selected Mahone in the second round, playing five seasons with the Bullets. In the 1985-1989 season, Mahone played four seasons in the Pistons, and the interior twin towers of Mahon and Lambier became a nightmare for other teams in the NBA. Lambier is a big inside man who can open up space in attack, and Mahone provides tough defensive and rebounding guarantees for the team. At the same time, Mahon also provides personal bodyguard services for all members of the Bad Boy Army, especially for Lambir, who is hated by all opponents, Mahon is more like the gold medal thug next to Lambir.
Lambier once said with infinite emotion: "Without Mahon's protection, I would have been beaten by others a long time ago." It is precisely because there is a fierce and indestructible Mahon around Lambir, although Lambir is full of evil, he has only been beaten by his opponents in a few times.
When Mahone joined the 76ers, Lambier's former bodyguard became an opponent, and as a result, Lambier, who did not know the height of the sky, annoyed Mahone, angered Barkley, and was beaten by the worst beating of his career, and was chased and beaten by Barkley. What Lambier once said seemed to come true: "Without Mahon's protection, I would have been beaten flat by others." ”
The first person who let Lambier know that life is not a windy snow moon is called Buckley.
