Good call on Bernard King. I would also add Dominique Wilkins, Joe Dumars, Mitch Richmond, Kevin Johnson, and countless other names that aren't coming to me at this moment to the list.

Arvydas Sabonis was considered a basketball god in Europe. He is definitely on this list.

A lot of people are posting Under-rated players, not forgotten.

Vin Baker totally forgotten and if he is remembered it is for all the wrong reasons. Right before the Lockout, he was hitting his prime and really starting to play great. Then the lockout happened and he sat on his ass and ate himself a whole new ass. His career was over from then on.

Glen Rice was also nasty when he was healthy

Jamal Mashburn would have been insane if he could have stayed healthy. Good thing for me he didn't though since i was a knicks fan and we had enough problems with the Heat


both these players had great perimeter post games. Mashburn was just sick with the perimeter post game. He would make insane shots look easy.


Eddie Jones also. I don't like him, but he was a good player, flew under the radar too even though eh played in LA.

Rik Smits. Fuck him and the rest of the Pacers, but he was still good.


Before he was mentioned as a coaching candidate, no one really talked about Jackson either, even though he is 2 all-time in assists. He also is the reason the 5-second back to the basket rule exists.

Vlade Divac left quietly, not that he was a big star or anything, but he had some epic games for the Lakers and Sacramento.

He's a great center but he wasn't completely SHOT when he went into the NBA. He was just 21 years old.
