Hell yes.

I always used to love watching Brent Barry play. Old Tom Chambers was really fun as well.


Old School Team Vanilla. Let's throw in Mark Eaton and Craig Ehlo to round out our starting five.

Not sure if Splitter qualifies but otherwise Kosta Koufos. Excellent big men.

Marc Gasol - Everyone knows his ability but no one talks how good he actually is. When he went down last year, the Grizzlies were awful, he came back and the team was back on track. He is that nucleus for Memphis

Wesley Matthews, the guy just keeps adding things to his game every year. Along those same lines, Paul Millsap.

He gets no love and respect because he's on the 76ers and everyone hates them right now. He had some flat out amazing games last season and this one was one of the greatest if the greatest rookie debuts ever. Shout out to all the rookie debuts last night.

MCW is better than people give him credit for

Champ Bailey....oh wait were talking basketball. In that case Mike Conley/Ty Lawson for being very good at their jobs. Point guards. Not undersized shooting guards that play PG like Curry, Kyrie, Westbrook, Lillard that many people deem better point guards that dont do 1/2 the role of actual point guards.

Same here. No one ever talks about Memphis though until the playoffs start, so not surprising.


I'd say Conley/ZBo/Gasol in general

No one talks about Mike Conley when discussing elite PG's, but every year in the playoffs he goes toe to toe with the elite guys (Parker, Westbrook, CP3)

People also discuss Love or Griffin, something Aldridge as the best PFs in the NBA.... but ZBo goes out there night in and night out with his hard hat and lunch pale and gets his 20/10


there is no doubt that Memphis is always overlooked when discussing the top teams in the west, but thats a team that no one ever wants to see in the 1st round of the playoffs

Wilt Chamberlain scored 43 points and pulled down 28 rebounds in his very first game, against the Knicks. Just sayin'.

Eddie Jones is a good one, another poster.

I love Nick Collison. Plays the game so unselfishly and the right way. Wish he was better...

Being a Raps fan I've always liked Anthony Parker when he was playing, and I think Amir Johnson is very solid. Other than them, I've always liked this LeBron James fellow.

Reggie Lewis

then other guys like Jimmy King (well his NBA career was super short so it's understandable), Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Dale Ellis, Chris Childs (other than the guy who punched Kobe or screwed up vs Detroit in the playoffs for the Raps), Mitch Richmond

currently I'd say Mike Conley is a pretty good pick

As for retired players Eddie Jones.


I agree with both of those

plus

Mitch Richmond, Danny Fortson, Nick Van Exel
