Why do you like Chandler Parsons so much?

He is so much fun to watch. He's hardworking, has a sweet stroke, rebounds/passes well, and is arguably the Rockets' best perimeter defender. Love his game.

I don't really know. Obv Kg, Pierce and Rondo, and I love watching Sully when he's hitting it. Bradley too.

But if I had to make a non-Celtics list, CP3, Griffin, Durant, Harden, Duncan, al Jeff, Kyle Lowry (darn you CB Draft!!), Steve Nash, Dirk, all in the convo. And Derrick Rose, I have loads of respect for Derrick Rose.

1. Rondo
2. PP
3. KG
4. AB
5. Sully
non-celtics don't matter but I'll always wish former C's the best (provided they don't play for the Heat or Lakers)

All time: Bird, Mchale, Reggie, Antoine and begrudgingly, Magic (hated his guts as a Laker but [dang] he was something to see.  couldn't stand Jordan once he started getting the star treatment--he was good enough to be incredible without the special treatment and that ruined it for me)

Non Celtics (and former C's):

Kyrie Irving, Joakim Noah, Zach Randolph, Tyson Chandler, James Harden maybe.....not really sure who else. Honestly its painful watching Super Stars get so many calls that the refs make me dislike them more. They already have enough of an advantage being great that they don't need to be baby'd around on the court as well.

Probably forgot somebody but aside from the big 3:

1. Tony Allen
2. Andre Iguodala
3. Grant Hill
4. Louis Williams
5. Chauncey Billups
7. Chris Andersen

I guess Ben Wallace isn't still in the league huh?  If Powe was he'd be number 1.  If you couldn't tell I'm a huge hustle/toughness/swagger/defense guy. 

Oh yeah, I gotta shout out to Dirk too.  I'm a sucker for anything German.
