The moment you've ALL been waiting for... the Top 10 Indiana Pacers!!!

http://www.hoopsmanifesto.com/articles/basketball/top-ten-indiana-pacers-of-all-time.html

1) Reggie: Pretty easy call here. Has 111 more win shares(!!!) than the second highest guy (Roger Brown), and has scored over 25,000 points in his Pacers career. You rarely see that anymore these days for one single team. And Reggie probably could have kept playing if he had wanted to!

2) Rik Smits: I have this friend named "Ryan", who love love love love LOVES Rik Smits. He's pretty much his favorite player ever in the history of the world. Hell, Rik Smits might actually be "Ryan's" dad. And Rik was Dutch. Those are the reasons he's my number two guy.

3) Dale Davis: Big Dale Davis fan here. He's my kind of player. I appreciate the physical maulers that are also productive. And I know that I sure as hell would never want to get in a fight with him.

4) Roger Brown: Can't really say I know much about this guy; although he has the second most win shares in Pacers history, and did manage to score over 10,000 points.

5) Danny Granger: I kind of put him here as a nod towards the future. If he stays with the Pacers, he could be the second best Pacer ever behind Reggie.

Yeah that's about right. I've played basketball against Rik Smits a few times after he was retired (he lives near my old home town and would play at the rec center and basically just drain 15 footers in everyone's eyes the entire night). Granger is well on his way to being the second best Pacer and as long as he stays and they actually make the playoffs while he is "the guy" I think he will definitely be their number 2.

Too bad they didn't mention Jermaine O'Neal's sweet night club "7". It might have been his greatest contribution to Indianapolis.

I'm jealous you got to play against the Dunkin Dutchman. That is awesome for real.

Tell us more about JON's night club? Any "scandalous" stories or anything like that?

Grizzlies. Brutal.

1) Pau Gasol - There's no one else. Literally.
2) SA Rahim
3) Shane Battier
4) Mike Miller
5) Rudy Gay - Only 15 career Win Shares, but good god there's literally no one else. What a sad disgusting list when Stromile Swift has the 5th most Win Shares in franchise history. Gay is at #5 while only playing 3 years for Memphis, because there is potential for him to be one of the best players in franchise history (sadly enough.)

He tried to make it a very Miami-esque somewhat upscale night club, but it's Indianapolis and we don't take kindly to "dress codes" just to go in a place and drink over-priced liquor.

I want to say someone might have got shot there once, but that just might be me assuming that anything involving JO, Tinsley, Artest or SJax involving a gun somewhere.

After he was traded he actually turned it into a Buck Wildz... which is like an upscale white trash place. It's still a club and plays awful club music like Keisha and Lady Gaga, but it has like a mechanical bull and a country western motif.

It is not my scene to be sure.

Top Ten Heat:

1) D-Wade: Seems to initially be a fairly obvious entry. However, and believe it or not, Zo Mourning is only 5 win shares and 2,500 points behind. I wouldn't have guessed. But I think everyone would agree D-Wade clearly gets the nod here.
2) Zo Mourning: See above.
3) Tim Hardaway: Neck and neck with Eddie Jones, but barely gets the nod due to better all around stats in most every category.
4) Eddie Jones
5) Udonis Haslem: Gritty and productive undersized big man. Knows his role and fulfills it admirably. Contributed meaningfully to the team's only championship.

Top Ten Hornets:

1) CP3 - Doesn't lead all stat categories (yet), but gets the nod due to win shares and the fact that he's still the face of the franchise for the foreseeable future.
2) Larry Johnson - Again, doesn't lead stat categories, but gets the nod due to his flash and character. Second all-time in rebounds and fourth in win shares.
3) PJ Brown - Team leader in rebounds and second all-time in win shares. These types of stats count, when the franchise has yet to win anything significant.
4) Dell Curry - Team leader in all-time points scored.
5) David West - Towards the top in all-time Points, Rebounds, and win shares. Not much else to go on here.

Knicks:

1) Patrick Ewing: Gets the nod here due to the immense stats he put up as a New York Knick, regardless of the fact that he never won a title. Winning Rookie of the Year and 11 all-star games also helps his cause.
2) Walt Frazier: Not bad if he's your second best guy. Won 2 championships and made 7 all-star games
3) Willis Reed: A fairly obvious 3rd choice. Has the stats and the titles to back it up.
4) Allan Houston: Now it starts to get a bit subjective. Let's give the nod to Houston since he's 9th all-time in win shares and 4th all-time in points scored.
5) Earl Monroe: Just a personal choice. Could go a lot of ways here.

Magic:

1) Dwight Howard - People might question this, but statistically no one else comes close from the history of this young franchise.
2) Shaq - Absolutely piled up the stats in only 4 seasons with the franchise. Also lead them to the Finals, despite the fact that they were swept.
3) T-Mac - Insane scoring machine at the height of his (healthy) powers.
4) Nick Anderson - Franchise leader in points scored. Mostly due to playing a large number of years with the franchise.
5) Penny Hardaway - If only for nostalgia...

I probably should have had Wilt on my list. Oh well. He was only their a few years. Granted, they were 4 great years. Still, this franchise is loaded with all-time talent.

Philly:

1) Dr. J - The Dr. doesn't have the most all-time win shares or stats in some categories, but there's no way I wasn't putting him #1 due to the fact that he was such a huge STUD. P.S. The Afro.
2) Dolph Schayes - All-time leader in rebounds and win shares, and fourth in points.
3) Hal Greer - Who? All-time Philly leader in points, and fourth in win shares.
4) Allen Iverson - Holy S**t this franchise is loaded in talent! AI is fourth on my list, and just barely!
5) Charles Barkley - The stats he put up in 7.5 seasons of games are just ridiculous. Again, there is a plethora of talent here.

Top Ten Suns:

1) Steve Nash: 7 all-star games and consecutive MVP awards. Although I will say that he's the most overrated multiple MVP award winner. Ever. And it's not even close, look at the list. No offense to any Nash fans, but he plays zero defense and never really has.
2) Shawn Marion: For being in the top 5 in so many categories: Win shares (1st), Points (4th), Blocks (3rd), Steals (2nd), Rebounds (2nd), and Threes (4th). Oh, and played 4 all-star games. Now THAT is what you call a complete player. And he accomplished this in less games than everyone else on my list except Nash.
3) Alvin Adams: Purely from a statistical perspective. 1st in total rebounds, 2nd in points, and third in win shares. Hard to argue with that franchise production.
4) Walter Davis: All-time leader in points, and played in 6 all-star games to boot.
5) Kevin Johnson: All-time Suns leader in assists, third in points, and second in win shares. Also played in 3 all-star games himself.
