	Eric Dickerson never played in St. Louis and Dick Lane and Dale Hawerchuk never played in Phoenix. I don't think Neal Broten ever played in Dallas but I'm not sure. Also Ichiro for the Mariners? Ken Griffey? Randy Johnson? Alex Rodriguez?

	Wes Unseld is 100x better than Gilbert Arenas

	Rob Niedermayer? Really?

	JScrip:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 05:25 GMT		9 points
	Vlad the Impaler never played in Washington, and Harmon Killebrew faced almost nothing but struggles with the Washington Senators, never really breaking out until the franchise moved to Minnesota. It's pretty obvious that Walter Johnson is the owner of that spot. I stopped playing the quiz after I saw that, however, I bet there are other errors throughout.

	yggdrasil:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 05:48 GMT		7 points
	Elvin Hayes (3 NBA finals with the Washington Bullets including one championship, hall of famer, sixth all time in points, fourth all time in rebounds, chosen as one of the NBA's 50 best players) should definitely be the Washington choice not Gilbert Arenas. Many would consider Joe Thornton (NHL MVP in 2006) to be better than Marleau, though Marleau is an acceptable choice for San Jose. You could also debate about Charles Barkley v. Steve Nash for the Suns or whether Shaquille O'Neal should be on the Lakers' list.

	Couple of suggestions: 1. Its close but I would put Derrick Brooks instead of Lee Roy Selmon 2. Todd Helton should be on there instead of Larry Walker 3. I know it's tough to pick a good one for the Arizona Cardinals, but I would put Aeneas Williams on there. He was much better than Pat Tillman, and Night Train Lane never played in Arizona.

	Phanthom32:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 09:13 GMT		13 points
	I like the idea, but there's just too many debatable picks here. The Walter Johnson snub for Washington is the most egregious, he was probably one of the Top 5 pitchers of all time. Not much to celebrate in Florida Panthers hockey, but I'd probably go with John Vanbiesbrouck. With all of the Minnesota North Stars history, Nicklas Backstrom isn't even close for Minneapolis. Arenas is not the best basketball player in Washington history. Ichiro is a future hall of famer, but Ken Griffey Jr is the best baseball player of all time in Seattle.

	Typing Williams for Ted got me him and Ernie Banks. Typing Hull also got me Broten. No love for Houston or KC? The players in assosciation with moved franchises is terribly inconsistent, as mentioned above. Also, as mentioned above, some of these opinions are questionable. To add, for Florida Panthers, Pavel Bure or Olli Jokinen I would think. For the Wild, even discounting all the North Stars, its still got to be Gaborik over Backstrom. As always, this is the problem with "opinion" quizzes, though it is a good idea. Just not sure how to make it work better.

	gratex2:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 11:05 GMT		14 points
	Opinion based quizzes kinda suck. Jackie Robinson was the Dodgers best baseball player? Whoa! No Walter Johnson in Washington? Suzuki better than Griffey Jr?

	JohnShade:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 11:19 GMT		6 points
	Wes Unseld was a lot better than Gilbert Arenas. It's a good idea for a quiz but you need to work the kinks out. You also need to settle for one candidate and only one for each spot. Do a lot of research and figure it out. I give you credit for getting Chicago exactly right.

	Etheridge2:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 12:21 GMT		5 points
	opinion quizzes are dangerous and this is why, could have been done MUCH BETTER, listen to the above comments. Warren Sapp, Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, and many others could have a spot on this list.

	bmo1616:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 13:19 GMT		6 points
	Ichiro is a Hall of Fame player, no doubt, but if it weren't for injuries, Griffey could have been arguably the greatest baseball player ever, period.

	Ben Goldberg:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 14:07 GMT		3 points
	How do you get dale hawerchuk over roenick/shane doan for phoenix? And Arenas is a much worse choice than Unseld -- Gil had a few good years, and has coasted off of his celebrity since; playing-wise, he's no better that Mitch Richmond was for the franchise.

	cocky:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 14:14 GMT		5 points
	Jackie Robinson never played in Los Angeles. Pat Tillman was a fine man but I'd put Kurt Warner as Phoenix's top football player. Granted, it wasn't a very high bar he had to cross, but he did get them to a Super Bowl. When I typed in Williams for Boston, Ernie Banks popped up as well. I might have put Erving in Philly to avoid listing Wilt twice. Agree on everyone else about opinion quizzes.

	Dylan1226:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 14:15 GMT		4 points
	Love the concept, executed poorly. Way too subjective. Maybe if ESPN or SI had done something similar.

	Rom:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 14:25 GMT		6 points
	Niklas* Backstrom over Marian Gaborik?????????? Marian has played since the Wild started playing, he's a better hockey player than Niklas Backstrom, although it's hard to compare because Backstrom is a goalie. Marian should definitely be ahead of Niklas, as good as Backstrom is.

	chocotaco:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 14:31 GMT		3 points
	for the florida panthers you should accept pavel bure, for the florida marlins: either Miguel Cabrera or Gary Sheffield, and for the Colorado Rockies: Todd Helton

	Once I saw Walter Johnson was snubbed for Washington, that was it. That's trbl. 1/2 a star.

	NinedenLtD:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 17:55 GMT		2 points
	Reiterate some of the previous comments, particularly with W. Johnson and Wagner and Unsled. Would also add: Hank Aaron belongs in Milwaukee. Chipper Jones or Greg Maddux belongs in Atlanta. I might argue Barry Bonds for the Bay Area.

	this is a 1-lightbulb quiz because it is OPINION. Find some impartial source,based on a poll, or an impartial statistical measure, or something, if you want to make a sporcle quiz of it. It would be a fantastic quiz if it were based on some objective metric, where there was a "right" answer (STARGELL OR CLEMENTE, OVER HONUS FREAKIN WAGNER?!?!)

	Typing Williams gets Ernie Banks?!?! If this is accepting Billy Williams as the best baseball player in Chicago history, this is flawed up the wazoo...

	PublicEnemy:	Feb 14th, 2010 at 01:47 GMT		-1 points
	I disagree with many of yours. Eg. How is Joe Montana (amazing quarterback) better then Jerry Rice (Best WR in history)? An amazing quarterback is not better then the best WR ever.
