This is a GREAT find. This was probably 1986. Nate was about 45 yrs old and MJ 23. Thurmond was one of the best defensive players ever. Kareem said nobody played him tougher than Nate. I think if blocked shots were recorded from day one Nate might still be top 5 on the list. This dude had a quadruple double in a game !!!
0:17 No less than KAREEM cited Nate as "the player that played him the toughest". Other commentary about Nate not letting Kareem get good position on him or the court, more than blocking him.
Nate Thurmond - one of the greatest and most underrated players ever.
Nate the Great.
