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

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.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

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.

Bledsoe doesn't make it anyway.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

Re: All Decade Teams
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).
