    I'm still shocked Robert Parrish is top 20 - I scored 18/20 - forgot the Chief and Adrian Dantley (whom I would probably forget again if I took the same quiz again right now lol)

    I cannot believe Bird and Magic are not on this list
  • Magic was an assist man. Bird's back gave out before his career was long enough.

  • 19 /20 forgot ewing
  • not worth mentioning, terrible.
  • 20/20 im good
  • CItalia
    I couldn't figure out Dantley to save my life.
  • 19/20... God, I forgot Ewing!! I *$)#ing grew up in New York City in the late 90s! I can't believe that.

    Just noticed this list was made in 2008. Kobe's got 24,000-something right now, he should be on the list. I also guess the list don't include the ABA, since Dr. J would be in the top five and Barry would be somewhere.
