1. Nash
2. Barkley
3. KJ
4. Amare
5. Hill

(Jason kidd would be on this list, if he wasn't such a DB)

Honorable mention for me would be Raja Bell. Not only for the Kobe incident, but he hit a lot of clutch shots in those playoff days as well. (vs. Clippers) Plus he was just a likable player.

Hill is more of a sentimental favorite but he was a key cog in those teams especially when Amare went down.

I know it's an unpopular view in society today but I don't see him as the only DB in the french fry fiasco.

Yeah... Raja was close to my list, but the limited amount of time he played kept him off it (4 years?).

Regardless, he was a tough SOB/big shot maker and I will always love him for not taking any more of Kobe's elbows and clotheslining his punk-soon-to-be-quitting-ass in Game 7.

I'll never get the Kidd love. He was easily the most difficult disappointing Sun ever for me. Talk about a guy who never elevated his game come playoff time for us. Dudes nuts shrunk more than Marion's on steroids come fourth quarter and he was the most overrated defender I've ever seen.

He seemed to excersize his playoff demons after Phoenix. Just our luck.

That's why he's not on my list! I just remember a lot of hope and fun in those first couple years of Kidd. For me Kidd played up to his potential, it was everyone else on those teams that disappointed ie. Penny Hardaway. (Who?)

But I get it, Kidd showed up talking about winning 2 or 3 championships, then he flipped us all the bird. I just meant he did have some great seasons here, he just wasn't what I thought he was. Steve Nash is what I thought Kidd was. :) So it all worked out.


What I dont get is the Thunder Dan love. He was Shawn Marion in the playoffs before Shawn Marion was Shawn Marion in the playoffs! :p JK I loved TD, but he did disappear his last couple of years here in the postseason.


As long as nobody puts that asshat Danny Ainge on their list I'm good. Mr. HEY LETS LEAVE BILL FREAKING PAXSON WIDE OPEN FOR 3 WHEN WE ARE UP 2.

I'll never forget it. That whole sequence my Dad just kept repeating; "dont give up a 3 dont give up a 3 dont give up a 3"

God I hate that Danny Ainge... #WorstDoubleteamEver #stillsalty #neverOverIt #DannyAingeDrinksHisOwnPee
