1. Larry Legend
2. Jerry West
3. John Stockton
4. Pistol Pete (especially if we count college, his NBA stats probably arent top 5 worthy, imo)
5. Dirk Nowitzki (personal preference over my HM, but cant go wrong with any of them at 5)

Honorable Mention:
Steve Nash, Jason Kid, Bob Cousy, Rick Barry John Havlicek, Jerry Lucas, Chris Mullen, George Mikan, and Mark Price


I also have a place for Peja Stojakovic....but he is nowhere near the above.

Any list without Brian Cardinal is a joke.

Fuck this.
lol dude is way overrated he was a gunner, he averages more fg attempts then kobe by 2 per game.
No, he wasn't overrated.. He was an innovator and back in the day, gunners were appreciated. I mean seriously, what does it say about Kobe that he averages 2 less FG attempts per game in this days NBA where pace is much slower?

Laley, I am pretty sure Kidd has some African American in him.

I believe his father is black.

and half white.


Does he only get 50% credit against the white competition and 50% against the black?

Some good players on these lists but I think Jason Williams aka White Chocolate deserves at least an HM. I mean damn him and C Webb use to be sweet! He had some of the sweetest passes ever.
