    Most of my favourites have been mentioned. I will add these:

    Adrian Dantley: He was the Kevin Martin of his time. Elite at drawing shooting fouls, with a unique skillset.

    Bernard King: I have only seen a handful of his highlights from his prime, however, His post scoring prowess was undeniable. Great rebounder as well.

    Good choice of BK. He could actually score, at will, from anywhere on the court because he had the fastest trigger of any player in the NBA ever. His shooting form and tremendous accuracy was something to behold. Nice reminder.

    As a kid, I remember watching SF3. It was when I first started to watch the rockets, and I always loved his energy and hustle even when we didn't win.

    Calvin made Brooks look slow.

    I miss the age of the great centers when you have the guys like Dream, David Robinson, Pat Ewing, young Shaq, etc. Now that Shaq and Duncan are apprently done, what great big man do you have left in the NBA? You've got Dwight and ...? Can't think of one. This is sad.

    Brandon Roy. So skilled, so clutch. Watching him two years ago was an absolute joy, all fanhoods aside.

    Most of the obvious ones have been mentioned. And props to xiki for the Phil Chenier reference. I remember one time Chenier was getting schooled so bad by Walt Frazier he sucker punched Walt in the back of the head. Walt just kept playing and schooling him. Good times. :)

    My two players I miss watching .... Alex English, even when he was torching my Rockets, was so smooth and always class on the court. One of the best scorers of all time.

    And from his NC State days, David Thompson. One of the original high flyers he soared like no one could in those days.
