THIS ONE IS FOR YOU KOC. TIM WE DID IT.
Mine is Charles Barkley. The energy he brought to PHX in 93 was GREAT!! And Horny too he was a 3 point nightmare. But Jeff was the nicest I ever met. My brother has downs and Jeff and my bro got pics and he autographed them for him when he even refused to sign anything...

Thunder Dan. I always tried to model my game after his since we have similar body types. I just couldn't get that vein in my shoulder to pop out like his. :hulk:

I may have liked Barkley the best but that's kind of easy... I thought Thunder Dan was pretty cool, especially when he was younger... Rex Chapman did some incredible things I only saw him do... Also KJ was great how he almost always got fouled going to the basket... I think I was kind of spoiled with him.. I thought every good point guard should be able to do what he did... he was the only one who seemed to do it though... I think he should have gone to the basket even more...he seemed unstoppable most of the time.. To quick for everbody.

It is hard to pick one but probably Barkley just for the entertainment value.

Ceballos, KJ, and Hornacek are close runner ups.

Kidd used to be #2, until the way he acted after he was traded.

Amare Stoudemire.

I like that the Suns were the ones who drafted him, and I really like how he's handled himself. The fact that he's a great basketball player doesn't hurt, either. :D


From the old days, I liked Charles, Chambers and pre-obese Oliver Miller. I was a white stiff center back in HS... :p

KJ without a doubt. Seeing him drive and dish or do pull up jumpers was as exciting as basketball ever got to me (I followed in the early nineties and then took almost a decade off for highschool and college and started up again with the Suns/Spurs series in Amare's rookie year). It also amazed me how he complete his game was and how he could fill a stat sheet. I remember some games with like 20 points, 5 boards, 10 assists, and 2 steals. Marion and Outlaw are my favorites of this century's Suns so far. Sorry about the gushing...

the greyhound for sure. so smooth. kj is a close second. i don't think he ever really got the respect he should have b/c he played in an era spanning great pgs (magic, isiah, stockton, porter, price, harper, hardaway, marc jackson, payton). and i think when all is said and done, amare will emerge as #1 for me. i say that 'cuz i truly beleive he will bring us a championship. oh, and tonight my favorite is definitely Q.

I gotta say long term - Charles, Thunder and KJ, but Amare and Nash are climbing up that list pretty damn fast.

Barkley still had the best dunk of all time against Seattle in Game 7 on a rebound stuff midway thru the 4th on one of those Crazy Dan Majerle Range 3's from like 35 feet out - it was the capper -- the STATEMENT(as he brought himself and the crowd seemingly on to the rim with him - screaming his head off) that the game was indeed over and EVERYONE knew at that point we were going to the Finals.

Chambers had the best regular season dunk of all time but he doesn't make my list because he was always awful in the playoffs. I swear if I ever have to see TC drive the lane, have the ball swiped away and fall to the ground, then slap the floor in frustration, I will puke.
