I think it goes without saying that we should limit to players you've actually seen. At least that's how I did it. Not sure how I could have a "favorite" player that I've only seen in grainy highlight reels.

But to each their own! It is, after all, an opinion based topic. You cannot be wrong........unless you pick Mark Eaton as your favorite Jazz player.

Hahaha! That pick made me laugh out loud. I had to say something!

 

[Minstrel]

Most underrated shot-blocker and defender ever. Guy did one thing, but did it extremely well. I admired the ability of Malone and Stockton but never liked them. I liked the mountain man in the middle who swatted ridiculous numbers of shots.

Leave the mountain man alone.

I agree. I remember him giving Portland all kinds of fits. He was tough. I picked Stockton though because he was just a tough SOB

fine I'll make a couple changes, but does it have to be someone you saw when you were on that team? for example, I dont remember Charles Barkley on Phila but I do Phoenix, what if I wanted to do Rex Chapman for Phoenix but still include Charles in the list?

Please, only change one thing - your Laker pick. Pretty please? I will ask Minstrel to ban you if you don't.

Mods: I think this deserves, like, a 1 hour ban of BW.

Very bad on offense. Absolutely. Part of his charm.
