Who's the greatest player to ever play for your favorite team?

[grittyman20]

Note, the question is GREATEST...not your FAVORITE.

If you didn't know, I'm a die hard Pistons fan so this one really wasn't that difficult for me...

When it came down to it, I had to choose from Zeke, Joe D, and Rodman...so the obvious choice was to go with Isiah.

Only other sport where I actually have a team would be baseball, and that team would be the Atlanta Braves.

Didn't see him play, but obviously I have to put Hank Aaron up there. Probably will get flamed, but I think Greg Maddux is probably the greatest player toever put on a Braves uniform. Dude simply was one of the most dominate pitchers I have ever seen...his record would have been 10x better if he could havegotten at least average run support in his games started.

Dan Marino-- there will never be an argument there.
Magic Johnson-- there will be some arguments made. Friggin hard to pick one (Logo, Wilt, Shaq, Kobe, Kareem, Baylor, damn it

)
Sammy Sosa-- Old schoolers will probably say Ernie Banks, or maybe even Ryne Sandberg, but people just want to forget what Sammy did in his career.

 

[iminchucks5]

too much to choose from but my favorite out of this group is Magic..

 

[gunna get it]

Arizona Wildcats: Sean Elliott


6ers: Iverson


Rams: Torry Holt/Marshall Faulk/Orlando Pace/Jackie Slater/Deacon Jones

 

[the wizard]

Yankees: Mo Rivera (We've seen a fair share of dominating hitters, but great closers like him are far and few in between)

Knicks: PE 33

Giants: LT

Noles: Charlie Ward

SJU: Mully

 

[dlo13]

Braves: Aaron or Maddux
Hawks: 'Nique
Falcons: Uh...

 

[gunna get it]

Wiz,
Walter Berry > Chris Mullin

 

[grittyman20]

Falcons would have to be Prime Time....

Rams: Torry Holt/Marshall Faulk/Orlando Pace/Jackie Slater/Deacon Jones
I see you couldn't pick one Gunna

, but what aboutDickerson?

 

[gunna get it]

I thought I had EDickerson in there, He's definitely in there, I had originally put Henry Ellard in there too but Torry surpassed him with his lastcouple yrs, so I took him out.

If you make me choose, I would pick Torry Holt as the greatest Ram of All Time.


Falcons gotta be Jesse Tuggle or Andre Rison
Prime didnt spend enough of his "prime" in a Falcons Uni.


*edit -
Tennessee Volunteers - Reggie White

Ehh, that debate is all about personal preference. Plus Berry went to Clinton in the BX, so I can't root for him.

[brotipoo]

My Fav Team of all time is the Chicago Bulls - ain't nobody better than my main-man, Michael Jordan, noooooobody.

 

[innocentmanse7en]

"Captain Comeback" Roger Staubach/Troy Aikman/"ThePlaymaker" Michael Irvin

/Emmitt Smith (the 1 man that holds the distinction of inspirin the 1st 2 parts of my sig

)/Larry Allen

(some defensive love)
Bob Lilly, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Deion Sanders (IMO, even tho he aint a "true Cowboy")

In the interests of keepin the list somewhat short, I'll stop there...

Hell, I'll do the Phillies 2 (explanation: I aint really get n2 baseball til about '96 after I moved 2 Philly...yes, I was a Phils fan back when RicoBrogna batted 3rd

, Doug Glanville patrolled CF, and Scott Rolen was thehottest thing in the streets [Hideo] )

Robin Roberts, Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt (yeah, that one's shorter lol...we sucked 4 a loooong time)

As for me, the greatest is Zeke.... but you will run into some people who say Joe D was more important, which may be true, but I just don't think he canoutshine Zeke's greatness.

Personal pick: Jason Maxiell......

 

[Pmighty]

i choose not to name players that were before my time(the 70's,and most of the 80's) i understand the big three and i understand emmitt has therecord and i understand they have 3 rings but i dont think they were as dominate as these two.

21>any defensive player they've had the last 10 years

T.O.>Playmaker

throw larry allen in there too

 

[wstcoastgotti]

Giants- Bonds
Niners- Montana/Rice
Warriors- Sprewell

Aight...I did start 2 put T.O. in there (as my fav current player) but I'm gonna hold off on that until he gets a ring... (everybody just SHUT UP!!!

) And lets not do the whole 81>88 thing...the Playmaker was mydude back in the day, and I'm still not quite over that day in Philly (I was actually watchin that game...I'll neva 4get it...)

 

[youngcfromthad]

Lions - Barry
Pistons - Zeek
Warriors - Tim Hardaway
Tigers - Lou Whitiker

 

[gunna get it]

I believe Wilt played for the Warriors not the 6ers, I may be off tho.
I think Dr J spent too much of his prime in the ABA,
I'll take AI's greatness over the time he spent with the 6ers over Doc and Barkley's.
