    Rules - Your favorites *(not necessarily the best) but, only players you've actually seen play... (if you weren't born until 1990...please don't vote for Robert Reid) - thus my non-inclusion of Elvin Hayes - I never really saw him play (or was I was too young to really remember his contributions)

    1) Dream
    2) Moses
    3) Yao
    4) T-Mac
    5) Clyde
    6) Ralph
    7) Calvin
    8) Mad Max
    9) OT
    10) Super Mario

    Clue - Anyone that needs both (first and last) names to be identified - probably doesn't need to be on the list - neither does anyone who poses as a commentator for TNT ;)

    Honorable Mention -

    Franchise
    Sweet Lew
    "The Jet"
    John Lucas
    Sir Charles
    Cat
    Super Mario
    K. Will
    Deke
    EJ
    R. Reid
    Rick Barry

    Sure I'm missing a few... who have I left off?

    Who do you dislike the most?

    1) Pip
    2) Eddie Griffin (RIP)
    3) V-Span
    4) Allen Leavell
    5) Dirk Minnefield
    6) Mo T
    7) Swift
    8) Oakley
    9) Bowen
    10) Maloney

    Rockets that I liked the best (for different reasons):

    1. Dream (no explanation needed. even drank the guy's H20 water)
    2. Yao Ming
    3. Mario Elie (Kiss of Death, smart enough not to kick Danny Ainge's *ss after the ball to the face episode in the playoffs)
    4. Robert Horry (particularly in the playoffs when he really tried)
    5. OT
    6. TMac (would be higher if healthy the whole time)
    7. Sam Cassell (sparkplug off the bench)
    8. Eddie Johnson (for "the shot" and for playing so well at 54 years old)
    9. Carl Herrera (appearance)
    10. Anthony "Pig" Miller (for the look, nickname and let's not forget the guy played an entire game with a toothpick in his mouth)


    Most hated (in no particular order)

    -Scottie Pippen

    Damn, I knew you'd show up and fix it! Thanks Tinman! Can't believe I left them off (too bad they don't have a smiley with a gun to it's head) ;)

    I remember this picture in Sports Illustrated (as an ad for their magazine) in the mid '80's with the quote "How does it feel to be 7'2" and just a little too short?" one of the best ads I've ever seen.

    1) Super Mario (Junkyard Dog)
    2) T-Mac
    3) Cassell
    4) Dream
    5) Yao
    6) Franchise
    7) Horry
    8) Clyde
    9) Kenny

    My favorites are usually the explosive, emotional types...
