Recency bias.

No Mike Newlin?
And yeah, Moses was a scrappy guy who also happened to be an MVP.

I agree with your first team mostly.

Chuck Hayes
Patrick Beverley
Vernon Maxwell

but I would put Shane Battier and Robert Horry on there instead

My fandom dates back to 1991 when I was 9 so I didn't get a chance to see Moses though I wouldn't argue with anyone that includes him as an All Time Scrapper.
