Some NBA guys:

Rafer Alston
Wang Zhizhi
Kareem Rush
Steve Blake
Kevin Ollie (during his stint with the Pacers in '02)
Rony Seikaly (mainly because of NBA Hang Time on Nintendo 64)

In college, I was a big fan of Tyler Thornton and Marty Pocius, even though the latter only played like once in every 15 games while at Duke. One of those games was against VCU in the 2007 NCAAs in which he took off on a fast break and attempted a dunk from near the free-throw line. He was about a step and a half inside but it was one of the greatest throw downs in Duke history. Just out of nowhere for a bench player, though Marty was as great a leaper as the Blue Devils have ever had.

Yeah, well you can go fuck yourself.

I have a friend who hates Duke whose three favorite college players of all-time are Eric Maynor, Joe Alexander and C.J. McCollum. Asshole.

I thought the same thing about Paul Byrd and Casey Blake (not good, but not sucky). If those guys belong on the list I thought there was enough wiggle room for coco.

Proably true.

I probably elevate Coco because he has been a catalyst at the top of 2 teams that have made the playoffs, 4 times total.

Add Doug Christie to mine. Dude was fucking lights out from beyond the arc in Sactown. Although, as one of the great three-point shooters of his time, I'm not sure he should be on the list. He was fucking Doug Christie, though, so probably. He was crafty as hell with the ball in his hands.

Loved his game and fuck-you attitude. Watching him punch Rick Fox in the face and then wait for him in the tunnel to continue beating his ass after both were ejected from a preseason game in the early '00s was some of the best TV I've ever seen. Fox was an asshole.

Bill Wennington played for 16 years averaging 4 points and 13 minutes per game, so I'd rank him right up there with the best worst white dudes.
