And to coolnet who commented on the article, I definitely agree Mike Gminski is another terrific candidate. The others...not so much, though mayyyybe Birdsong and Dawkins, but it would be hard to convince me. Both had more notable careers for other teams (Birdsong with the Kings; Dawkins with the 76ers) and didn't offer anything remarkable to the Nets. Gill and King are utterly forgettable. Gminski however spent a large portion of his career there and helped give the Nets their identity. And again, nice article and nice job proposing an underrated player who is deserving of the honor.
