[SpacePuppet]

Well, I don't know if any of you watch this show, but I LOVE it! So I thought it would be fun to do some lists of our own! I'll say a catagory, and you give the 10 ten best of it in history. (In your own opinion of course.) Okay, here goes...


10 Best NFL Teams (Not the Dynastys, just the year and the team)
10 Most Clutch Players
10 Greatest MLB Homeruns
10 Best NBA Players
10 Best NHL Players
10 Most Overrated Players
10 Most Overrated Teams
10 Best NFL QuarterBacks
10 Best MLB Catchers

Okay, lets here it!

Here's my top 10 NBA players:

10. Tim Duncan
9. Karl Malone
8. Shaq
7. Bill Walton (though I can't stand the mofo as a broadcaster)
6. Pistol Pete
5. Larry Bird
4. Magic Johnson
3. Bill Russell
2. Wilt Chamberlain
1. Michael Jordan


And I'll give a shot at the top 10 QBs ever

Top 10 MLB Catchers;

10. Joe Torre
9. Mickey Cochrane
8. Benito Santiago
7. Mike Piazza (only because of his ability to swing the bat)
6. Roy Campanella
5. Yogi Berra
4. Carlton Fisk
3. Ivan Rodriguez
2. Gary Carter
1. Johnny Bench

Both Josh Gibson and Thurman Munson get honorable mentions because Gibson would be #1 or #2 but for him only playing in the negro leagues and Munson who died tragically in a plane accident cutting his career far far too short

I will throw out a new category - Top 10 best stadiums to watch a ____________ game. I will throw mine out there soon.
