Congrats to Crash!

[fatlever]

interesting... im sure if we did a list we would have very different results for some of these players

of the big name guys, i think paul is getting no respect. he is top 5 when he is healthy, imo.

LOL at hedo on the list.

if wall makes so should griffin.

[DY_nasty]

Vince Carter isn't even the best shooting guard on his own team anymore...

[Battery]

Wow what an incredibly dumb list. I disagree with soooooo much of it that it's not even worth discussing.

[Fred Williamson]

this list sucks as much as we do

[Battery]

Chris Bosh

[BigSlam]

6 of my 17 fantasy keeper league team players appear on that top 50 list.

'Nuff said.

[Battery]

I just noticed Monta Ellis is not the list. I feel bad for Phoenix tonight...probably drop 100 points on them by himself. Probably give up 110 points though...

[Marvel]

What a dumb list, they usually are.

Hedo....

[Marvel]

Nor is Kevin Love

[ajbry]

No Jack, no Monta Ellis, and Gerald at 49? Those 3 reasons alone would nullify the legitimacy of the list, but that doesn't even begin to describe how crappy it is.

It might be the worst list, of anything, I've ever seen.

[fatlever]

we should make our own list as a board. i bet we could come up with something much better.

[captaincrunk]

we should make our own list as a board. i bet we could come up with something much better.

If you can make a multiple choice poll where we can vote for like, 3 players or something you could do it easily enough. Not many voters though...

we should make our own list as a board. i bet we could come up with something much better.
