    Favorite definitely has to be Chuck Hayes, but honorable mention has to go to Jim Jackson. Never could explain it but always liked him when he played for us.

    I hold a soft spot for Franchise b/c his arrival was such a big deal at the time. I remember his first pre-season game against Payton and the Sonics, and he went at Gary HARD the entire game. From that moment, I loved the guy. Also, his first game in Vancouver and the way Barkley backed him up. Awesome memory.

    T-Mac's presence on the floor his first 2-3 years here was incredible as well. It was a great feeling having a guy that capable on your home team. Felt like a superstar, and at certain points it was undeniable.

    An "under-the-Radar" favorite of mine....that's right...Sam Mack. Loved him spotting up for 3's on kickouts.

    Those 3 really stand out to me :grin:

    Yao and Steve Francis hands down. I can't choose between the two, they belong together anyways.

    Scottie Pippen.

    I'm kidding! To be honest, it's pretty hard to say. I guess you could go with Steve Francis. Before he became such a slacker.

    No mention of Bjax? He wasn't super good per se and he was only here for 1 year but his game was fun to watch and he's one of those guys that seem cool and easy to cheer for.
