    Top 5 NBA sixth man of all time

    LeBron would be #1 if he went through with what he said yesterday

    #5 Jamal Crawford
    #4 Toni Kukoc
    #3 Manu Ginobili
    #2 Kevin McHale, first 3 years as pro he was Celtic 6th man, won the award first 2 years, C's won it all.
    #1 John Havlicek, born for the role. Best player ever to come off the bench.

    Detlef was a 17pt 5 board 4.5 assist 1.0 3pt guy while shooting 80% FTs as a 6th man. Just as good as it got.

    Don't forget Eddie Johnson of the Suns. He averaged 20+ points a game coming off the bench

    Nasher, it was just the one year, but Bill Walton in `86 played, according to Pat Riley "MANIAICAL"

    He was healthy and loved his teamates, knew it was a last chance, knew it was only 20 minutes or so a game, knew he wasn`t playing much unless it was against a playoff team.

    He was the last piece of the GOAT NBA team with the 87 Lakers a great debate.

    Because he's won twice the sixth man award, once in Atlanta and the Clip, and I don't have total recall, so other posters are coming in with names that I forgot, so knowing what I know now with you guyd help, I would bump him down to 10.

    Who you like tonight?

    RM, Bobby Jones never played with or against either Gasol, Jones is old enough to be both Gasol's dad.....
