    I didn't include anyone from this year's team because I think 1-12 all these guys have some talent (defense or otherwise) to bring to the table.

    But what about the guys that didn't?

    The guys who almost never got playing time, and looked confused when they were told to go in.
    The guys who got sweaty and exhausted from bench cheering.
    The guys whose nicknames were "Warm Body" and "Who?".

    Well this thread and a Pabst Blue Ribbon are for them.*


    *These guys are better at basketball and make more money than most of us (well maybe just me), But f**k it, it's the off season and we have no NBA games to watch. Lets have fun.

    Any Brian Cook highlight mixes, pictures with them on the bench wearing suits, or debates about who had the lowest DNPCD's are all appreciated.


    Feel free to nominate anyone you think should be on this list.

    I'm not sure if you included Scott Brooks in jest or not, but he closed out many 4th quarters as the point guard. There is no greater honor, imo, for a 12th man.

    To me, this discussion begins and ends with Charles Jones. That guy shut down David Robinson on more than one occasion, and definitely plugged the middle against Shaq.

    In playoff games that led to championships.

    to be a true 12th man you shouldnt have played much...so some of those guys dont belong on the list...it's really should be only between brooks and cook, with cook having the edge.

    This guy always had the most fun on bench or on court. He does not care about playing time. A true team player. He was not shy from the responsibility and did not fear shooting the rock. Missed him and his energy on the bench.

    Are you asking from the guys you have on the poll who has the most talent or the least?

    Matt Maloney. Although some will call him a starter. I still call him the scrub that cost a chance at another title for how weak he was on that trio we had.
