This series is going to be great. Bloguin peeps weighed in and cast their votes. The results will be posted alphabetically. Here is the first team... the Atlanta Hawks:

Here's how I voted:

1) Dominique - Just barely gets the nod over Pettit, due to the eras they played in.
2) Bob Pettit - A big time stud, and is largely unknown to most casual NBA fans.
3) Lou Hudson - I don't really much to say about this guy, other than the stats don't lie. See for yourself.
4) Cliff Hagan - See above.
5) Kevin Willis - The fact alone that he played 20 years for the Hawks is enough to get my vote.

Where's Pistol Pete??? Or how about S Augman,S Webb,Tree Rollins,L Wilkins, even D Mutombo????

Spud Webb
D Mutombo

He only wanted the Top 5 from everyone. Those guys surely would have been 6-10 for me.

Also, if you missed it, we are just voting for guys from when they played on that specific team, not their entire careers.

Minnesota Timberwolves

1. Kevin Garnett
2. Ray Allen
3. Brandon Roy

Hahaha.

What, no Marbury?!?!

Boston Celtics up next that will be interesting. I don't think Garnett makes the top 10 with them just because of their storied franchise.

1. Bill Russell - If he's not numero uno for them that equals epic fail
2. Larry Bird
3. Bob Cousy
4. John Havlicek
5. Sam Jones
6. Kevin McHale
7. Robert Parrish
8. Paul Pierce
9. Dave Cowens
10. Dennis Johnson

Just top 5, can't argue with yours then. Willis did play forever so he's at least deserving of your pick! Coach/player L Wilkens gets my vote ahead of him though!!!

Celtics

Bill Russell
Larry Legend
Bob Cousy
Sam Jones
John Havlicek

Bill Russell is "The Big O"

?

What am I missing with that?

Oscar Robertson was The Big O.

I know. That's why I'm confused.

Meant Russell was looking at a list of the 50 best players of all-time no idea why I wrote Big O??!!!!

That's a great list! I would put The Chief at #10 & Jones at #7, but love the order otherwise. This is a cool series.
