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

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

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...

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.

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...
