	Not that Erving wasn't awesome, but surely the author could have found someone who played more than 3 years for the Nets that might've had a bigger impact? (Jason Kidd and Buck Williams come to mind). Also, it's kinda hard to say that anyone other than Chris Paul should be considered the best player ever on the Hornets.

	I understand that you have a source, but was was Bleacher Report thinking? Julius Erving over Jason Kidd, LeBron James over Dwyane Wade, Alonzo Mourning over Chris Paul? Sure these are debatable, but some of these choices were made without thought.

	1. You said Alonzo Mourning was 1992 ROY. He wasn't. Shaq was ROY in 92. Plus, he only played 3 seasons with them. I would give the nod to Chris Paul as the best Hornets' player. 2. Lebron is the greatest player to wear a Heat uniform, but he certainly isn't the greatest Miami Heat player when considering one's career with that team. Wade, Mourning, Rice and even Hardaway have contributed more to the Heat. I realize he won a championship for them, but I think it takes more than 2 seasons to be the best player for a franchise.

	i was typing leisurely and there was 7:30 left. too much time for a fun challenge.

	I found a typo: The Suns player's accomplishment says "2 time NBA" not "2 time NBA MVP". Also its hard to call a player the best player from the franchise when they only played a few years with the team.

	Thank you for the comments and suggestions. First and foremost i did not make this list myself, i simply found this list on bleacher report and decided to make it a quiz because of how controversial it really is. I agree with most of you in that some of these selections i would not have picked. @drj9879 @ps_poobah @NYYanks thank you for suggestions, ill make some changes.

	Good old bleacher report. There's those two guys from the 70s who played for the Knicks, their names were Willis Reed and Walt Frazier. I hear they were pretty good and actually won titles.

	Bleacher Report sucks

	how is LeBron in 2 years better then D-Wade in 8 years?

	11. Thou shalt never link Bleacher Report

	B/R is the absolute worst.

	Guys a moral of this quiz is never vote the quiz down because you don't agree with the information given. The quiz is good, laid out nicely, and requires some thinking. I agree that the source isn't the greatest, but this deserves at least 4 globes. I have experienced this myself with using bleacherreport and I did not enjoy all the negative votes because Bleacher Report's ideas weren't that great, and I can tell you its frustrating. So give this kid some recognition please.

	If I ever see a link to BR I never click it anymore. Sick of their pop up begging for your email address. Sure if you never clear your cookies it probably doesn't happen twice, but I use CCleaner regularly and I'm not going to whitelist BR so they can track me just to not see a popup so I can go through 100 slideshow pictures for some arbitrary 'Best of' list by a writer who isn't even that great.

	I didn't down vote the quiz though. It's not the quiz maker's fault.

	Did anyone else try Run TMC for the Warriors then give up immediately when it didn't work?

	In what universe would anyone take Nash over Barkley?

	cocky:	Jan 31st, 2013 at 11:23 GMT		2 points
	Well, I wouldn't give a quiz four globes if all someone did is copy a list off a web site. Still, I agree you shouldn't trash a quiz because you don't like the source. He did give us hints to figure them out so we weren't wildly guessing. I agree they shouldn't have picked people who were only with a team a couple of years.
