[B]* My fandom is the (1999-Today) Championship Era *[/B]

1.) Emeka - The best total package. Awesome low post scorer and a beast on the offensive glass, combined that with top tier defense.

2.) Clingan - The best defender I’ve ever seen. I see a lot of him vs Thabeet discussion in this thread, to me Clingan was the equivalent of an elite corner who doesn’t pick off many passes, as by sophomore year he was rarely tested (Illinois showed why). Offensively he was an ELITE rim runner and his rolls to the basket lead to buckets and even more open looks by collapsing defenses.

3.) Adama Sanogo - Recency bias, maybe? But IMO Adama is the second best offensive big of the modern era (behind Okafor). Leading scorer and rebounded for a title team. Averaged 19.6 & 9.8 in the tournament and was named MOP.

Misc Thoughts - Winning a ring matters a lot to me, so the 2009 team failing keeps Hasheem out of any top conversation, when there are guys with comparable stats who won it all.
