15. Shawn Kemp – Amare Stoudemire

The “Reign Man” Shawn Kemp ruled the 90’s and his Seattle Supersonics went to the NBA Finals, only to bow down against the 72-10 Chicago Bulls. He dunks with impunity off passes from Gary Payton, and he can shoot from the perimeter. Much like Amare is with the Suns. Steve Nash dishes off to him for the slams and easy buckets. After a microfracture surgery, he has developed a reliable outside shot. Although Amare still has to go to the Finals, I believe he will have his time especially with Nash on his side.

14. John Stockton – Steve Nash

Stockton is the All-time assist leader. Nash has led the NBA in assists for the past three years ever since his move from Dallas to Phoenix. Both reliable outside shooters and both have the heart of the champion. John had Karl Malone to feed, Steve has Amare and Shawn Marion. Nash just has the MVP.

13. Bob Cousy – Steve Nash

Methodical, yet impulsive. Unselfish, yet can deliver when needed. Defensive liability, yet battles through picks each night. Leaders, yet they adhere to instructions. The dependable court generals ever.

12. Karl Malone – Carlos Boozer

That Boozer jumper always remind me of Karl. They love the outside when they should thrive in the inside. Both has worn the Utah Jazz uniform, and have been molded by the same great coach, Jerry Sloan. No wonder they have similar games.

11. Allan Houston – Jamal Crawford

Slowly but surely, Jamal has become the primary contributor from the outside. He is a dead shot from the perimeter. Stephon just needs to get him the ball. And in no time, he’ll be the new Allan Houston for the current Knicks.
