Is anyone really going to be surprised when Frank ends up in the ring of honor?

I propose we nickname him "4th Quarter" Frank.

I think you hit 19 of them. :lol:
That was pretty good in four sentences.

"looser" is so common and drives me crazy.

But you missed an opportunity here, Marty:

"always too much"
My biggest pet peeve is the use of nubs in video games. “You guys are nubs!” It’s usually the guy with the crappiest score that says it.

1968-69 to 1977-78 - Connie Hawkins, Paul Silas, Neal Walk, Dick Van Arsdale, Charlie Scott, coach Cotton Fitzsimmons
1978-79 to 1987-88 - Walter Davis, Larry Nance, Alvan Adams, Paul Westphal, Dennis Johnson, coach John MacLeod
1988-89 to 1997-98 - Tom Chambers, Charles Barkley, Mark West, Kevin Johnson, Jeff Hornacek, coach Paul Westphal
1998-99 to 2007-08 - Shawn Marion, Clifford Robinson, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, coach Mike D'Antoni
2008-09 to 2017-18 - Jason Richardson, Jaren Dudley, Channing Frye, Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic, coach Alvin Gentry
2018-19 to 2027-28 - Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Deandre Ayton, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, coach Monty Williams

Wow. No wonder the team was so bad for the decade from 2008-09 to 2017-18. Every other decade has a Hall of Famer and some All-Stars, that decade had neither!

I like the inclusion of coaches.

It was really hard to leave Cliffy off my list. I left him out because he didn't play that many seasons with us, and I valued total minutes played a lot.

I also valued fan appreciation a lot, which made it hard to leave out Mark West and Ced Ceballos.

I left out Kidd and Bledsoe because I objectively hate them. :twisted:

And any wife beater deserves to be ostracized, even if they were great at playing a sport.

I'm ignoring the off-the-court antics, otherwise we'd have to reconsider Davis, KJ, Barkley, Robinson, Kidd, Richardson and others. And I tried to leave personal bias out of it (Bledsoe wasn't the first to want out of here - and he won't be the last).

I also decided to leave popularity out of it, so Majerle, Hill and Barbosa don't get any extra credit for being fan favorites).
