Wow, a lot of love for Jason Kidd. A fine player, but I never thought him an all-time great.

Would you go - Stockton, Nash, the REAL I.T. over Kidd?

What about Maurice Cheeks and Dennis Johnson?

I think you can argue the above - and I'll get hated on this like my opinions on Bird, McHale, Parrish in regards to D.J.- but they were such a tremendous unit that fed off of each other (which is why I put Barkley, Malone, Nowitzki over McHale) - but I think those Celts teams individual 'Icon Status' results are more of them being such a collective unit of terrific players and superior ballplayers rather than the best in the game.

i.e. - take D.J. off of these Celts teams and is he really TJ McConnell? Take Bird off of these Celts teams and is he really Robert Covington? Take Parrish off of these Celts teams and is he really Amir Johnson? Take McHale of those Celts teams and is he really Ersan Ilysova?

<--- Prepares to get tomatoes thrown at him.

I would pick the real IT over Kidd, yes, no question. Never been much of a fan of either Stockton or Nash. I realize they were very talented but I have no enthusiasm for either. Even though he didn't have the careers of either, I would rather have someone like Mark Price.

I thought Maurice Cheeks the perfect fit for the Sixers. He only needed to be able to hit the mid-range shot (which he did) and keep the offense going, surrounded by players like Toney, Dr J and Malone. Any team that can sweep the 80s Lakers in the Finals needs to get more recognition.

Dennis Johnson was an all star before he ever got to Boston and very underrated. No ego at all. He was the ultimate team player and when he teamed up with Bird it was devastating for other teams. Not a great deep shooter but an excellent mid-range shooter. I think Bird even said he was the best player he ever played with.
