List looks solid..

I immediately scanned the list for Yardley because he's usually forgotten. Was pleasantly surprised.

I was surprised Monroe and Drummond even made the honorable mentions. Both are good players, to be sure, but with so little time in the league and the general state of the team in those years I probably wouldn't have even had them in the running. Seems like a good list otherwise. For discussion's sake, I would have picked Chauncey over Rip. Not for the finals MVP, but because he was a better defender and more threatening one-on-one scorer.

Best and most true line ever "Though he could barely jump over a skateboard." - In reference to Laimbeer.

Was thinking of Yardley too and also Bailey Howell.

I'd go Yardley over Hill. I would also add the Microwave on the bench.
