Sweet Mo Cheeks. I agree with the assessment that it hurts that McMillan never really got starter minutes. It's easier to pour all your energy into defense when it is for limited chunks. He did a great job with his role, and it may be a bit unfair because we don't know how he would've done with an expanded role, but Cheeks did have an expanded role and he was a tough defender.

How crazy is it that one team, the 1995-96 Seattle Supersonics, had the 3rd, 10th* and 12th* best defensive point guards in NBA history?

*I'm guessing McMillan will end up getting the 10th spot and that Snow would end up around 12thish.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

I'm going Nate McMillan....

I would have loved to see him defend MJ in the 96 Playoffs...

Nate McMillan should've already been voted in. He is arguably the best out of all these guys.

I don't think people are understanding, he was on the same team as prime Gary Payton and HE was the best defender. He averaged 3 steals a game coming off the bench one year.

As far as peak he may actually be the best
