    1. Steve Francis
    2. Eddie Griffin -my dad just bought me a Griffin jersey today. I can't believe that he found one in the suburbs of Philly. This little sports shop at the Neshaminy Mall (in the suburbs of Philly had 2 of them. I was shocked when my dad told me where he got it, because that place only had Jordan, Iverson, Kobe, Vince, KG, Shaq, and EDDIE jerseys!

    5. Oscar/ KT (TIE)

    3. charles (i still miss his post-game interviews)
    4. mario (nothing but heart)
    5. bullard (best hairdresser in the nba. period.)

    on a side note why do so many people like maggette and miles? what can they do but dunk? i just don't see anything in maggette at all other than atleticism and i like miles' potential but as of now his range is all of 5 feet.
