Glad to see that Alex English got some love here. Outside of Denver, he might be the most underrated Hall of Famer in any sport. The trio of English, Kiki Vandeweghe and Dan Issel was a force. Those Nuggets teams were doing things that had never been done and is now common in the NBA. Running that type of up-tempo offense, before we all truly understood the impact of altitude in sports, was really something.
I'll offer one, Manu Ginobili. He was the best offensive player for the Spurs during the later half of the 00s, made 2 All-NBA teams, led Argentina to a Gold medal in 04, had the impact metrics of superstar, was the best player in the 05 finals, was a great competitor and teammate, and one of the most fun and creative players ever.

Plus those uniforms were rad.
