#35 Frank Thomas-his entire career was outstanding, but his first seven seasons at the plate were as good as any I've ever seen.
#40 Gale Sayers-before he destroyed his knee, he was out of this world, both as a return man and a running back.
#41 Dirk Nowitzki-the Bucks drafted Nowitzki in 1999, and promptly traded him to the Dallas Mavericks for Robert Traylor. Nowitzki has scored nearly 27,000 points for the Mavericks. Traylor scored 416 for the Bucks. Trading Nowitzki in 1999 was almost as dumb as trading Ray Allen for Gary Payton in 2002. Payton played one year for the Bucks. Nowitzki and Allen continue to play at an All Star level. But I'm not bitter.
