Pettit.

**Jace** · 01-02-2013, 12:45 AM

As much as I wanted to throw one Thunder Dan's way, Pettit was the choice.

Marcus13 · 01-02-2013, 05:29 AM

Pettit is one of the most underrated players in NBA History - easily Top 20

**Knicks4life** · 01-02-2013, 05:46 AM

Yep, it's obviously Pettit, although Guerin and Tony Parker aren't that far behind.

I like Van Exel as much as the next guy, and I can't tell you how happy I am that your favorite player was born in your favorite state (Kenosha, WISCONSIN)... but assuming we're talking about real basketball where both ends of the court matter, I'll take Deng.

**El Shaqtus** · 01-02-2013, 12:33 PM

This is probably the only time St. Louis is mentioned.

When Deng is the go-to player on a playoff team I might consider this. Although I do have to agree with you that it does hurt that Nick the quick was born in Wisconsin, probably explains why he stole his parents car and fell asleep at the wheel and got that scar as a teen. Bored to death!
