    Why Zeke?

    There are plenty of options and I just put a Joe Dumars, maybe he doesn't deserve to be there but guy is proven Piston, hell if you can't choose nobody from this Pistons team, ex. Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace or Richard Hamilton why not Joe Dumars...

    because isiah accomplished a lot more as a player than any of those guys - it's literally not even close. 12 time all star, 5 time all-NBA, etc etc etc

    Shareef Abdur-Rahim over Pau Gasol (regardless of Vancouver never making the playoffs) and Chris Bosh over Vince Carter - but only because of the way Carter's time in Toronto ended.

    I say no way on Paul at this point. So I'd go LJ since he had more years than Zo there.

    I don't think Lebron has been around long enough yet either. Not to supplant Mark Price and his sweet career there, imo.

    Wade, I'd like to say not yet... so I'd give the edge to Zo by a hair at this point. With Wade set to take it over very soon. But I can see the argument for Wade even now with the title.

    Isiah is clearly the guy for the Pistons.


    I'm a fan of 3814's choice of Shareef in Vancouver...I was thinking Big Country at first just cause I couldn't think of who was good there before, but Shareef is the choice.

    I wouldn't put Shareef for the Grizz. He put up big numbers on terrible teams - Gasol actually got them to the playoffs.

    Stockton over Malone.

    Kevin Johnson for the Suns. Barkley was fantastic, and Nash is great - but Johnson was a stalwart for Phoenix for almost a decade.

    Gasol had more games, minutes, a higher PER, and more success in terms of winning than Abdur-Rahim with the Grizzlies. I can't think of a good reason to rank Gasol behind him.

    I can argue with this...How amny playoff apperances has CP3 had? NONE

    Baron Davis is more accomplished as a Hornet at this juncture! Hell David Wesley is more accomplished as well, but in the next few years...CP3 will definitely have this title.

    I suppose Baron is trumped because Steve Francis was in his hay day at the time & Jason Kidd/Gary Payton were the game's best players
