    seriously speaking, Gerald Wallace could make a good case for Charlotte's best player, IMO.and as for Toronto, as soon as CB4 leads the dinos to the postseason, he'll be the best.

    Kevin Johnson was not the best for the Suns. Maybe if he would've stayed healthy...but I'd say it's easily Charles Barkley even in his short time with us, even though his partying may have cost us some playoff games.

    I would have said Charles, but he was only in Phoenix for 4 years, whereas KJ was there for 12. Also, I was looking at stats at his stats awhile ago, and dude averaged 20 and 12 one year [​IMG]

    I made this thread a few times. Good idea bringing it back.Atlanta could be Bob PettitDallas should be Rolando BlackmanMilwaukee should be Oscar RobertsonNew Jersey should be Julius ErvingI'd say Allen Iverson for PhiladelphiaSacramento should be Alvin RobertsonAnd people already said change Phoenix.

    Re: Best Player in every team's history

    I guess that makes sense since he was here longer even though Charles was the more talented player. I just with he wouldn't get injured so much because KJ was just a great player but with Stockton there and the Jazz making the Finals year after year he didn't get noticed as much. If Nash plays like he has though he will pass KJ soon, he already has for most Suns fans.Some short KJ clips.http://youtube.com/watch?v=9EGMSETJUkshttp://youtube.com/watch?v=Dlf_wBaCUssAnd just a bonus since I'm there already...Tom Chambershttp://youtube.com/watch?v=oA3ujP6dnHM&amp...ted&search=http://youtube.com/watch?v=8_jBWSGqGyw&amp...ted&search=

Blackman never posted the #'s Dirk gets, and Dirk led the Mavs to their first Finals appearence3) You're way off on that assumption. Robertson played 4 seasons with the Bucks at the very end of his career. He was past his prime, and didn't ever average over 20 ppg for one, wasnt a rebounding factor. He did get around 7 apg, but look at what KAJ did. He won the Bucks a championship, didn't he? And he put up monsterous #'s in Milwaukee. He got 34 and 17 once. You're way off on this one.4) I dont think so. He played 3 seasons with the Nets, back in the ABA days. There was no defense played, and his #'s are bloated. Kidd got NJ to the Finals, and has been a triple double machine, and a great pg for them.5) Ah....maybe...this could go either way.6) Yeah, totally agree with you on this one. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT ALVIN ROBERTSON NEVER PLAYED FOR THE KINGS!!!! Wow, very stupid comment here. Alvin Robertson never played for the kings, whereas Robertson had the prime years of his career all with Cincinatti. He was the only player to average a triple double in a season, did that with the Kings. He averaged over 30 ppg 6 times, over 10 apg 5 times, over 10 rpg 3 times. This is just ridiculous. You sure made a fool out of yourself with this one..

Just a few more years and he will pass Ro for #1 in scoring. By all he has done, he is already the best in our history.

I'm going to go cut myself.

    OK, fair enough. Big O>Tiny Archibald either way. Tiny did have a few GREAT seasons for the Kings though.

    Alonzo Mourning is best player from Charlotte not Okafor. IMO But it is pretty close.

    Not entirely true, the Hornets were in Charlotte when Mourning was there, so therefore he should be in consideration for the NO Hornets franchise if anything

    This shouldn't go by City but by team name...that would make it a better list.

    A lot of good potential choices for the Celtics, but I probably would have taken Bird over Russell.

    you forgot to mention Vancouver :lmao-1: the Grizzlies was there before you know...Charlotte's best player would be Glen Rice... his way better than Alonzo and EmekaMiami's best player would be Alonzo (when he was younger, he was the best C)
