Nique was a superstar and franchise player.
Exactly. Larry Nance grew up one hour from where I lived and he attended nearby Clemson University, so I had the chance to see him both in college and throughout his NBA career.

There is a difference between choosing a particular player over another because of personal preference (for instance, as a Marques Johnson fan I may pick him for a team over, say, Larry Bird) and saying that Johnson was a better player than Bird when evidence says otherwise. Let's try to be as objective as possible when evaluating players and not let personal bias be so obvious, Baron.
