Well it always takes a team to get there
And im sure he did more than contributing with his great all-around game
I have to go with X-Man over Schrempf on account of this:

Pretty much. it's pathetic when Ken Norman and Loy Vaught are easily in the conversation for top 10 in franchise history.
Tom Chambers was originally a Clipper. I would have put Walton, but did he even play in half of all possible games when he was with the Clips?
I think these are the core ten .....
No Kersey?
1. Magic
2. Kareem
3. Kobe
4. West (never saw play live but gets bonus points as GM)
5. Shaq
6. Baylor (never saw but based on highlights)
7. Wilt
8. Worthy
9. Mikan
10. Goodrich
11. Horry/Fisher/Cooper/Pau all have strong cases ...
Vince Carter
Chris Bosh
Tracy McGrady
Damon Stoudamire
Antonio Davis
Morris Peterson
Doug Christie
Alvin Williams
Andrea Bargnani
José Calderón
Can you make a sadder list than the one above?
1. Timmy
2. D Rob
3. Ice Man
4. Manu
5. TP
6. Sean
7. Little General
8. Artist Gilmore
9. NEAL WIT IT
10. Dice
LOL @ Alvin Williams and Bargnani being top 10 players in franchise history. Ouch; I think I'd move Ed Davis into one of those slots or something.
For the Suns, it's pretty easy to make a group of the 10 best players ever, but impossible to order them. One reason why they're ringless is their best players have always been 1.5 options and they've rarely had more than one 1.5 option on the same team.
Nash and Barkley are the top 2 since they're the two who have played at an MVP level with the Suns and showed flashes of being a franchise player.
After that tho there's a group consisting of Amare, Marion, KJ, Walter Davis, Paul Westphal, etc. that had several all star seasons in Phoenix but were never really considered franchise players.
Amare would have easily been on the same tier as Nash and Barkley and probably would have become the best Sun ever if Sarver gave him the contract he deserved.
Bargnani is already the 4th leading scorer in franchise history. Yup.
Magic
Kareem
Kobe
Shaq
West
Wilt
Worthy
Mikan
Pau
Cooper
Honorable mention: SLAAAAVVAAAAAAAA
No particular order...
Karl Malone
John Stockton
Mark Eaton
Jeff Hornacek
Adrian Dantley
Rickey Green
Pete Maravich
Andrei Kirilenko
Darrell Griffith
Deron Williams
Coop over Baylor seems about right
For purposes of mental exercise:
Bobcats top 10...
Should be interesting:
Stephen Jackson
Emeka Okafor
Tyson Chandler
Raymond Felton
Gerald Wallace
Raja Bell
Earl Boykins
Nazr Mohammed
Boris Diaw
Brevin Knight
Feel free to correct me if I am missing someone...
Not too bad if those guys are healthy
Knicks:
- Patrick Ewing
- Walt Frazier
- Willis Reed
- Bernard King
- Allan Houston
- Earl Monroe
- Bill Bradley
- Charles Oakley
- Barnett
- Richie Guerin
I would've expected to see Dave DeBuescher on that list...
