1. Tom Heinsohn
2. Hal Greer

**Krstic All-Star** · 01-17-2013, 05:59 AM

Earl, Heinsohn and Greer are each all time greats

**RollWithEm** · 01-17-2013, 06:14 AM

I have Greer over Heinsohn and Pearl.

**Dornado** · 01-17-2013, 07:04 AM

I went with Greer over Monroe.

AllRim · 01-17-2013, 07:14 AM

I guess there is a bunch of young guys here that are voting for Melo. Booooo. Greer allllll the way

AllRim · 01-17-2013, 07:15 AM

should be close between Hal/Tom/Earl.

Marcus13 · 01-17-2013, 07:20 AM

Melo winning this would definitely put a big black eye on our list

**Dornado** · 01-17-2013, 07:43 AM

Anthony has had a nice career, but Greer and Monroe both have rings (though they played on more talented teams) while Anthony doesn't... it might not be fair, but that pretty much gives them a bump in class for me.

Dick McGuire deserves some list love and Im surprised Sprewell isnt up there either but Ive gotta go with Greer

**GrandKenyon6** · 01-17-2013, 08:08 AM

Has to be Greer. I don't really see an argument for Monroe or Heinsohn over him.

To be honest, I didn't even know who some of the players were when I voted. After going to basketball reference like the average revisionist, I refuse to acknowledge how the other options would've been better.

e-monk · 01-17-2013, 10:00 AM

you mean besides the fact that Greer has a ring, was named to the allstar team more times, had more 'all nba' team honors and is in the hall of fame?
