The most decorated guy left on the board.......4-time DPOY.......NBA champion...


Ben Wallace

[americaninfidel]

Even McGrady looks skeptical in that pic.

No matter, I vote Ginobili again.

[elmerjfudd]

Yao Ming

[Y2K]

Ben = most decorated

Grant = best player overall

Manu = rings + overall package of skill and production

Billups = FMVP + sustained success for nearly a decade


Hmmmmm.....

He looks high as a mothafucka there.

He also looks pretty happy to have 15 microphones in his face.

I like how you capitalized my name but not rob's.

Posters here are starting to understand my alpha status.

Mouse understands what a fragile little bitch you are so he capitalized your name to make you feel good about yourself.

I'm glad it worked.

Whatever you say, common noun.

I think it's interesting how there's what, maybe 5 guys on this list who I guess you could say "peaked" in the late 1970s/early 80s? I feel like there's considerable talent then we might be missing out on, instead trying to include oft-injured guys who gave us maybe 4-5 peak seasons in recent memory. Bernard King, Dan Issel, Artis Gilmore, Norm Nixon, Elvin Hayes, Adrian Dantley, John Drew, Jamaal Wilkes, & Mark Aguirre to name a few guys still omitted who had solid numbers post-merger yet we're trying to toss on 3rd wheel guys like Manu now.

[Bush4Ever]

Yeah, the late 70s/early 80s is a bit of dead-zone to a lot of fans IMO, especially once you get past the obvious names to the more 2nd and 3rd-tier star players.

I mentioned Adrian Dantley and Bernard King earlier in the project. It's fairly difficult to judge the players from that time frame because many of them:

1. lack portability
2. Lack hardware
3. lack individual achievements

While Manu appears as a 3rd wheel, his skillset along with his production per min makes a strong case for him to be in the conversation right now.

[Odogg]

Gilmore and Hayes were mostly pre merger. wilkes may need a look.

I vote Manu.

[rtiff68]

Outside of Christian Laettner (who doesn't count), there's only one member of the original Dream Team who has yet to make this list.

He averaged 18/4/4 over the course of his 13 year career-- during his prime, he averaged 25+ for 5 straight seasons.

My completely objective vote is for Chris Mullin.
