Re: One player for each franchise that personifies it

I'm doing all time because current players would just be too hard. Obviously I'm going more with the city vibe here.
Atlanta - Dominique Wilkins - Displayed the flash that represents Atlanta and should make it more attractive, but ultimately overshadowed.
Boston - Larry Bird - Brash, blue collar, and extremely successful
Charlotte - Sean May - An incompetent franchise overrelying on players who spent college within state borders.
Chicago - Michael Jordan - The ultimate triumph of the Second City over big bad New York, over and over and over. Besides, he's Michael Jordan.
Cleveland - Mo Williams - Incredibly depressing. Once promising, but now without hope.
Detroit - Bill Laimbeer - Overwhelmingly blue collar.
Indiana - Reggie Miller - Loyal, quietly intense, and fundamentally sound.
LA Clippers - Michael Olowokandi - Rarely promising, overwhelmingly incompetent, just a nasty, disgusting failure of a human being.
LA Lakers - Kobe Bryant - Flashy, charismatic, self-centered, and too good for you to do anything about it.
Miami - LeBron James - Flashy, arrogant, and a great defector.
New Jersey - Vince Carter - Wants to be big time, but ultimately not that great. Also, it seems like every good player for the Nets must have a light mocha shade to him. Not being racist in any way, that's just the way it is for some reason.
New York - Patrick Ewing - Prematurely and undeservingly crowned by their fans, strong, can't back up the hype.
Orlando - John Amaechi - They're called the Magic.
Portland - Greg Oden - In a city full of weak knees, he's the granddaddy of them all. Literally.
San Antonio - Manu Ginobili - Foreign influence with some flash to it.
Utah - John Stockton - The most obvious choice in so many ways. Not just that one. I mean, he's even from the mountain west region.
Washington - People always talk about him, ultimately not very effective, a corrupt individual with a gun problem.
Atlanta - Dominique Wilkins - Displayed the flash that represents Atlanta and should make it more attractive, but ultimately overshadowed.
Boston - Larry Bird - Brash, blue collar, and extremely successful
