    In the spirit of all these throwback threads, why not have one that is more debatable.

    Excluding all of the 94/95 clutch city rockets, who is your favorite role player?

    I meant to say all-time role player, excluding the championship years (not just this years guys).

    My favorite role player was Dream. I liked the role he played when he beat the heck out of DRob and Shaq.

    I liked Sura alot as a spark player that played with fire.

    I'd have to say Sura. I just loved the way this guy played. I wish we still had him.

    I went with the one who actually helped us win a championship. It's hard to find such selfless players in today's NBA.

    Pretty much all of our current team is made up of role players. And I love 'em all. :)

    read my first post... "Excluding all of the 94/95 clutch city rockets"

    That includes one of our most 'clutch' role players from a different team. I knew there would be alot of support for Sura and Deke but i am surprised there isn't more love for Nick the brick.
