Very good list, everytime I thought of somebody new they were on down the list.... Very good. Shane Battier definitely the best.

Kendrick Perkins is the Celtics Glue - Whys isn't he on your list? It's cause you're stupid right? You wouldn't make that kind of oversight just because you want to provoke us?

Solid list, can't argue with that at all!

Shane Battier and Raja Bell....you were right on.
They're amazing.
