The Top 15 NBA Players of the 90's: Yes, you know who Number 1 is

I read all the lists that everyone posts about who the best is at this, and who the best is at that, and I decided it was my turn to conceive a list of my own.

So, I chose the sport I know best, and chose the era I know best. 

I have done my research, consulted with nobody else, and placed the players accordingly.

Sure, not everybody is going to agree with me, but isn't that the beauty of making up your own list.  The thing about these lists, is that anyway you tug at it, it looks wrong, but still right, if that makes any sense.

Let's go over some ground rules before I get into the list.  I am concentrating on only NBA players who played in the 1990s.  And, they can only make the list if they have played in 5 seasons or more during the 1990s.  So, that takes away some of the great players who we know now, but didn't know back then, for long enough.

If you didn't know people who might make that category, it would be the likes of Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Isiah Thomas, and so on.

So, if you're a fan of any of those players, I apologize.  It hurt me to leave off Allen Iverson, because he's my second favorite player of all time, but I had to do it.  On the other hand, it gave me great pleasure to leave Timmy off this list, because I'm not a big fan of his.  I respect his game, but it was nice to not have him lurking at the top of the list I was drawing up.

So, with that said, let's get to the list...

15. REGGIE MILLER

Reggie was an assassin. 

It's as simple as that. 

The NBA career leader in three point shots made, and attempted, was the last person you would want to see wide open, behind the arc, with any amount of time left on the clock, let alone at the end of a game. 

His 39.5% career percentage from behind the arc isn't the greatest, but if you ever watched the man play, you would swear he never missed a shot. 

Along with his long distance shooting, his free throw shooting was off the charts.  A career 88.8% free throw shooter, he led the league twice, and was in the top 10 every season other than those two, during the '90s.  He is, also, the career leader for 4-point plays in the NBA, with 24 in his illustrious career.

His ballhandling and defense may not have been up to par with his offense, but he always played smart, and within his game, keeping his turnovers to a minimum (a career average of less than 2 a game).

His game wasn't flashy, which might be the reason why he's stuck at 15, but his game is what got him into the top 15, which speaks volumes about all the flashy players of the '90s who didn't make the list.

14. DENNIS RODMAN

Of all the players on this list, I'm sure this will be the most shocking.

But, come on, he's The Worm!

He had the ability to change a game without doing anything.  The mind games he played on the opponents were relentless, and worked almost every time.
