    Recency bias.

    No Mike Newlin?
    And yeah, Moses was a scrappy guy who also happened to be an MVP.

    I agree with your first team mostly.

    Chuck Hayes
    Patrick Beverley
    Vernon Maxwell

    but I would put Shane Battier and Robert Horry on there instead

    My fandom dates back to 1991 when I was 9 so I didn't get a chance to see Moses though I wouldn't argue with anyone that includes him as an All Time Scrapper.
