Think people are forgetting about Van? It is interesting to me as I have no clue how popular he is, but I loved his game. I wonder if he is fading in the average fans eyes?

Too much game for me to ever forget.

Yeah, Nick The Quick or Nick At night was the bomb on the court, I watched him at Cincy.

His game was so raw. He had the Lake Show going in the 90's before Kobe and Shaq got there. Him and Eddie jones were a great duo.

Chuck Person

The Rifleman.

I used to hate to see the Bulls playing Indiana, because I knew this dude would light them up from 3, and he always did.

Bernard King and Alex English not that forgotten but really underrated...

I just loved the bravado, Chuck hit some big shots, just always had respect for the guy.

As mentioned by other posters, Bernard King and Alex English were highly under rated.

Porter, Glen Rice, Isiah rider, Tom Guggliotta, Andrew Toney, Sprewell, Sam Cassel, Petrovich, Nick Van Exel, Corliss Williamson, Webber, Vlade, Muggsy Bogues, Kenny Anderson, Steve Smith, Eddie Jones (Who was awesome on the Lakers and Hornets, and has been completely forgotten) Alonzo Mourning, Jamaal Mashburn, Kevin Johnson, Allan Houston, John Stark and Voshod Leonard. At least thats the 90's list.

Eddie jones was the man on the Lakers till Kobe showed up, damn wish they kept Eddie and Kobe.
