I’m warning you this is all historical and all from one time period because a) I don’t watch basketball anymore and b) when I was watching it, I definitely loved the players I was watching over anyone before them.<\/em><\/p>\n

All-Time Favorite Top 10…<\/strong>
\n1. <\/strong>Michael Jordan<\/em>, doh.
\n2.<\/strong> Charles Oakley<\/em>, smooches to you.
\n3.<\/strong> Danny Ainge<\/em>. He was scrappy!
\n4.<\/strong> Shawn Mullins<\/em>, but only when he was with the Sonics.
\n5.<\/strong> Robert Horry<\/em>, but only with the Rockets.
\n6.<\/strong> Dennis Rodman<\/em>, before he got all spastic and crazy.
\n7.<\/strong> Xavier McDaniel<\/em>.
\n8.<\/strong> Doc Rivers<\/em>.
\n9.<\/strong> Anthony Mason<\/em>, yes, I like bruisers.
\nand tied for 10.<\/strong> Jalen Rose and Chris Webber<\/em>, how could you be from the Midwest and not love these boys?
\n<\/UL><\/p>\n

Wait a minute, there are two sometimes-Celtics on the list. How the hell did that happen?<\/p>\n

And I gotta give a shout-out to Muggsy Bogues<\/em>, I could never really root for him (come on, he played for the Hornets!) but we are just about the same size so I always list him. I’m down w\/ the shorties! And he was much more fun than Spud Webb<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Top-10 Most Detested…<\/strong>
\n1.<\/strong> Reggie Miller<\/em>.
\n2.<\/strong> Isiah Thomas<\/em>.
\n3.<\/strong> Shaquille O’Neal<\/em>.
\n4.<\/strong> Gary Payton<\/em>.
\n5.<\/strong> Detlef Schrempf<\/em>.
\n6. <\/strong>Mark Jackson<\/em>.
\n7.<\/strong> Charles Barkley<\/em>, when he was playing ball (I enjoy him as a commentator!).
\n8.<\/strong> Nick Van Exel<\/em>.
\ntied for 9. <\/strong> Alonzo Washington and Larry Johnson<\/em>, most obnoxious teammates ever. (p.s. But Kendall Gill, I like. So, there you go.)<\/em>
\nand tied for 10. <\/strong>Larry Bird and Kevin McHale<\/em>, don’t even get me started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
