On the list: Kirk Heinrich, who is on the trading block hard core and nobody wants him still. Jose Calderon, who sat behind TJ in Toronto. Derek Fisher...okay, the explanation I read is that he's there because he's been in so many finals. Knock Chris Paul down a few notches because he hasn't. It's so completely moronic to rank people based on the number of Championships they win because there are too many people who pull a Phil Jackson and won't play with anyone who isn't an odds-on favorite already. Jameer Nelson (do I have to comment on this one?). Rajon Rondo, who manages the game. They throw him in there with the All-Century team and tell him not to screw up too bad, and when he doesn't they put him in the top 20.
Not on the list: Derrick Rose, who will start over Heinrich this year. Delonte West, who did an amazing job last year and can be a great player when he settles down. I don't think he's top 20, but better than Fisher and Nelson. TJ Ford, who I would put anywhere from 12-15 on that list. If you're factoring in health issues we can go 17-18, but then Arenas and Ellis drop.
