Doesn’t have to be the 4 best players. Doesn’t have to be guys that played before you became a fan ( hence why I wouldn’t have Mullin Berry on my list since it wouldn’t be honest to put them on )
1.Zuby
2.Malik
3.Boo
4Artest
I reserve the right to change it from whatever I picked 2 years ago
Hatten
Dlo
Ponds
Kadary
I’m fine with Coaches but like Otis mentioned we have to add a 5th which is an automaticCriteria differ. Players and Coaches? Players you saw only? Best all time or favorite? Etc.
Mine would be:
Carnesecca
Mullin
Berry
Ellis
Honorable Mention: Dove; Sealy; Artest; Mark Jackson; Lapchick; Pitino (so far); G. Johnson; Zawoluk
Sentimental Mention: Alagia; Plair; Gilroy; Singleton; Barkley; Bootsy; Lopez; Zen; Harvey; Hatten; Dlo; 30 others
Too many "greats" for just 4 spots. Hence my overly extensive additional names as honorable and sentimental mentions...Harrison - he came within a hair of getting jettisoned with good reason, got the help he needed along woth a coach whoncared aboutbuis kids, and turned it all round.
Mullin - forget about the coaching chapter, objectively not cut out for it. But without question gave us 4 years of pure joy and terrific ball. Hope he returns to the fold someday.
Alagia- was the star of the very first Johnny teams i followed. I've gotten to know him a tiny bit since and is an even better person that the giy who won the Naismith award for best under 6 ft player.
4th guy? I'd leave that open for all the very good men that were a joy to watch on the court and also were really good guys, even those who had their troubles. Berry, Amar Alibegovic, Zendon, Felipe, George Johnson, Beaver, Jayson, Bill Wennington and many more.
Wait! How could Looie not head this list? The most beloved Johnny of all time without a doubt.
I'm reserving a spot for Rick, who may have already earned it, but he has only just begun.
I neglected to include and also have to add Zuby as an honorable mention on my lost...Criteria differ. Players and Coaches? Players you saw only? Best all time or favorite? Etc.
