Prince Blocks Magic's Guarantee, Sends Pistons to Eastern Conference Finals, Again
>7 days ago
Normally after the New Orleans Hornets win a playoff game I write a love sonnet for Chris Paul.
My man crush is still strong for CP3, but Tayshaun Prince deserves the affection and admiration this morning.
I've long argued the former Kentucky Wildcat is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He's been named to the All-NBA Defensive 2nd Team for four straight years, but never once been named to an All-NBA Team. This year he received just one vote.
There's no flash, no big scoring outputs, but if you're looking for a valuable basketball player who does everything, you'll have a hard time finding more than a handful better, if that.
Tayshaun has been known for his huge block on Reggie Miller in Game 2 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals where he sprinted to contest what appeared to be a wide open, uncontested layup to tie the game.
Last night, he added another memorable block to his list. Sporting a three-point lead with less than 20 seconds remaining, Hedo Turkoglu drove to the bucket looking to draw a foul and potential And-1. What he ended up with was go-go gadget arms and rejection. Game over. Pistons advance.
Outside of Robert Horry, has any "role" player had a bigger impact on more playoff games than Tayshaun Prince?
