Prince, Rip, Manu, Parker, Rasheed

Billups would probably be on my list, but I'd have to make one and it would be close for him to be in the top 20, probably in the 17 to 25 range.

Yeah, I know it was Tony ...

Is that ordered or just a random list of your top 20? I can probably name 20 players that are better than Tony Parker (this coming from a Spurs fan.)

Damn JJ really stole the hearts of RealGM'ers with his Playoff Performance. He wouldn't crack my Top 20 on a good day.

Sorry, but this is probably the worst list I've ever saw. Well, it'll make much more sense if you take out Tony Parker from #1 and the Pistons team. Let me guess, Antonio McDyess is #23, Maxiell is #24, and Walter Hermann is #25.

Smush Parker is better than Kobe? Come on now...
