I loved Nick in college and when he was with the Lakers. I thought dude was ice cold as a Laker and pretty good with the Nuggets as well. Not a list of greatest players, but favorite players. Chris Webber has had a lot of failures as well, but he's still one of my favorite players, mostly based on his time at Michigan and most of his years with the Kings.

No it's all good he just didn't fit to me with all the other great players on your list.

I liked Van Ex with the Lakers too. Actually that team, w/Van Ex, Ceballos, Eddie Jones, and Vlade, is still my favorite Laker team. Fun team to watch.

Seriously tho, I know Tim Thomas is a lazy jackass and all (plus he had that whole bit where he talked shit to Dirk and got 50 crammed down his throat), but the guy's got skills. I love his game, talentwise the guy is off the charts, it's just a shame he doesn't give a shit.

What charts are you speaking of.....the guys had a few decent seasons as role player. Sheed's talent level is off the charts, that I agree.

If Tim Thomas had wanted to, he could have been a top 10 player in the league for many years. He's 6-10 with good strength, he can run the floor like a guard and can shoot lights out. He just doesn't have the mentality it takes to be a great player.

He's basically Dirk with zero work ethic. Which is a shame.

20 Favorite non-Spurs, no order:

19) Yao Ming
20) Baron Davis


Note 1: I realize #15 and #16 played for the Spurs. However, they made their names elsewhere long before San Antonio. I was already fans of theirs before they were Spurs.

Note 2: If you're wondering where Magic, MJ and Hakeem are, this is a "Favorites" list, not a "Best" list. There's a big difference.

Top Favorite Coaches

Phil Jackson
Rick Carlisle
Larry Bird
Billy Cunningham (ESPN Classic)
Doug Collins
Avery Johnson (I know he blew it, but he is still fun to watch)
Jeff VanGundy
Paul Silas
Jim O'Brien

Top LEAST Favorite Coaches (collectively, the Old School Coach's List)
George Karl
*Pat Reily (as much as I consider him a cheat and a looser, he is on probation for that excellent showing in the 2006 ECF. The slime ball showed the ability to learn and innovate and actually coach to help his team instead of hurt it in the 21'st century)
Don Nelson
Lenny Wilkins
Jerry Slone
Larry Brown
Rick Adleman
Scott Skiles - Newest Honorary Member of the OSCL
Don Chaney
Mike D'Antoni
Gar Heard
*Flip Saunders (On probation. He has a good offensive set and seems to be evolving before our very eyes this playoffs.)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

To keep things interesting, I'm only going to name my top 10 (in no order)CURRENT NON SPUR players:

1. Rasheed Wallace
2. Al Jefferson
3. Kobe Bryant
4. Shane Battier
5. Dwight Howard
6. Carlos Boozer
7. Baron Davis
8. Chris Bosh
9. Josh Smith
10. Andre Iguodala


and yes, I'm serious about Shane Battier. I think he's a superb defender, and the perfect role player that any team would kill to have.

David West had a good shot at making this list, but his childish face tapping and hand clapping led to him being dropped off the list.

I'm sure he's devastated.

[jacobdrj]
