ESPN has an interesting report up on who the fans think are the all time best NFL players for each particular franchise.  Since there is like nothing NBA going on right now (except for the Olympics of course) I thought I'd try to do the same for each NBA team.  This is of course just my opinion, some I'd think everyone would agree on, and some maybe you could argue with.  By the way, my criteria was that the player could be anyone in the Franchise's history, so for example anyone that played on the Rochester/Cincinatti Royals would be eligible for the Sacramento Kings.  Also, if a player was recognized as a great player, but played most of his career with another team, I tried not to put him on the team he only played one season for.  Anway, here are my results:

Golden State Warriors:  Rick Barry.  I considered Wilt, but I knew him better as a Sixer/Laker.  Mullin, Richmond and Hardaway I considered, but Barry brought the Bay a championship.  I'm hoping that in ten or fifteen years, there will be no argument that Monta will be the Warrior's all time best.

Los Angeles Clippers:  Bob McAdoo (Buffalo Braves).   

Los Angeles Lakers:  Magic Johnson.  Lot of great Lakers (pun intended), including Wilt, Jerry West, Kareem, Connie Hawkens, and of course Shaq and Kobe.  I'd still take Magic over all of them.

Phoenix Suns:  Steve Nash.

Sacramento Kings:  Big O - Oscar Robertson (Cincinatti Royals).  If you kept it to Sac-Town, I'd give it to either of our boys, Richmond or Webber (yes I'm a Homer).

Dallas Mavericks:  Dirk Nowitzki. 

Houston Rockets:  Hakeem Olajawon.  (Although Moses Malone is tough not to pick).

Memphis Grizzlies:  Pau Gasol?

New Orleans Hornets:  Chris Paul (already).

San Antonio Spurs:  Tim Duncan.  The Admiral gets an honorable mention.

Denver Nuggets:  Alex English.  Was gonna go with A.I., but he's better known as a Sixer, and did you know that Alex English scored more points than any other player in the decade of the 80's (unless I can't trust Wikipedia)? 

Minnesota Timberwolves:  Kevin Garnett.

Oklahoma City TBA's:  I'll go with Gary Payton over Ray Allen.

Portland Trailblazers:  Clyde Drexler.  But they have 4 guys on their team currently who could take this over.

Utah Jazz:  John Stockton (Pistol Pete was a favorite of mine though).

Boston Celtics:  Larry Bird.  Again, like with the Lakers, so many great players, and I'd like to give it to Oakland Star Bill Russell, but don't you have to go with the Legend?

New Jersey Nets:  I'm going with Jason Kidd.  (I like Oakland Point Guards).

New York Knicks:  Walt Frazier.

Philadelphia 76'ers:  Wilt Chamberlain.  Wilt only spent 3 seasons in Philly, but there was that little Championship against the '67 Warriors, and I had to put Wilt on this list, so sorry A.I., Barkley, and Dr. J.

Toronto Raptors:  Vince Carter or Chris Bosh?  I can't pick one.  Actually I will - Carter.

Chicago Bulls:  Bill Wennington.  Just kidding.  Michael Jordan.

Cleveland Cavaliers:  Lebron James.

Detroit Pistons:  Isiah Thomas. 

Indiana Pacers:  Reggie Miller.

Milwaukee Bucks:  Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabar).  Kareem is better known as a Laker, but he had great numbers with the Bucks, and I had to get him on the list.  So I've broken my own rule twice now, but thems the breaks.

Atlanta Hawks:  Bob Petit (Milwaukee/St. Louis Hawks).  I was gonna put 'Nique here, but check those crazy-good career stats for Petit - 26.4 ppg, 16.2 rpg, 3.0 apg.  I know it was a different era, but daaayyymn.  He's a player I wish I could've seen play.

Charlotte Bobcats:  Because of my own stupid criteria, I'll pick Emeka Okafor over Jason Richardson.  But I'd rather have Richardson on my team.

Miami Heat:  Dwayne Wade.

Orlando Magic:  Shaquille O'Neal.

Washington Wizards:  Gilbert Arenas.
