    My favorite player not on our championship team is Cuttino Mobley. They guy was all heart and would do anything the coach asked him to do. The guy played a whole season on two bum ankles. He would cover the opposing team's best wing like Tmac. He played the pg during his rookie season. He scored 20+ points when he was the primary scorer. He was a warrior. I loved the dude.

    I liked the Cat as well, not so much his GF though who was a druggie.

    Cato was awesome too. And someone's gonna say Sura.

    I always get **** from it but I loved Rafer. I don't know what it was about him but I loved how he facilitated the ball and always tried to imitate his teardrop. And I mean imitate to the the precise movement and look. That means it would either look really well or would not even touch the rim and make me look like a damn fool. That and I loved that he didn't take **** from anybody. Steve Nash, Tyson Chandler, or Sasha. He would talk **** and bring excitement to the game. Something that has been missing since we traded him. Toughness. I still think he is a good PG and have no problem with telling people I have a Alston jersey. Got to love Skip.

    David Wesley.

    ...

    In all seriousness its a tossup between Aaron Brooks, Kyle Lowry, and Tracy McGrady.

    I had a soft spot for Luther because of all the "Head" jokes.

    Mobley's a great choice. To me, Barkley is too. But for me it comes down to a tough race between Yao and Chuck Hayes.

    Well, since I'm too young to remember anyone from the pre-championship years, I'm gonna go with Yao. Deke is a close second.

    SF3 was up there for me, Shane too. I liked Yao, but I don't know if I'd say he was my favorite...

    I would pick Barkley, he was amazing playing with the rockets, he played with so much hustle.
