Every vote counts now as the races have tightened up to the point the winners are getting less than 1/3 of the vote.

High scoring Kevin Martin played 5 1/2 seasons with Kings, probably best years of his 10+ year NBA career. I can remember so many Kings games where he was main reason we won with his offense or kept us hanging around against tough competition. Don't think I ever saw him miss critical free throw and seemed like he was always close to 90% from the stripe. Besides his outside shooting, Martin's slashing through the lane, drawing fouls was spectacular.

If Jason Williams is not a King, dishing highlight-worthy dimes and crazy pull-ups (even though many of those missed), then the Kings are probably not in Sacramento right now.

He was instrumental in the Kings' escaping the cellar/backwater of the NBA and actually being a relevant, important NBA team for a short (wondrous) time.

For me, that is more important than (mostly) worthless points, rebounds or free throws.

Without Jason Williams, there is no Sports Illustrated cover... no way. He belongs in the top 10.

I will bet the 9th best will get about 20-25% of the votes. The people available all seemed relatively equal. I eliminated Ron-Ron as he wasn't here long but the rest are relatively similar. I took the logic of trying to see who I would want on the team right now. I suspect Grant, L-Train, Thorpe, Johnson, and Tisdale won't get many votes as a lot of posters didn't see them play.

Wayman Tisdale gets my vote here. I was lucky enough to see him play. He was a fantastic player, on and off the court.

I just like to make people happy.

sigh, the B52 Bummer, err... B52 Bonger... really all time top 10?? I hope somehow Rudy Gay and Nik Stauskas have long enough Kings careers to take care of that.

Can I retract my JWill vote and throw it to Tisdale?

He was a 2-time all star, including his first year here. That alone makes his consideration pretty reasonable.

I'm gonna miss that smile.......

Wayman Tisdale was better than Brad Miller.

 

[Bricklayer]

Ok...that one I did not see coming at all. Not mostly the Christie voters either so...
