Simple question. Have they? Even though I'm a Wizards fan Carmelo has probably been my favorite player to watch play since he was at Syracuse.

    Fred Taylor and T Mac are my favorite players. Still don't like how Del Rio did him and Garrard ? though. Both had a shot at the HOF but Freddy got injured so much and Tracy couldn't get out the first round. Even when they left Jacksonville and Houston, I still wanted them to do good

    Kobe does.

    Currently AJ Green doesn't.

    Past players Barry Sanders didn't. Sean Taylor did.

    I "liked" a lot of players but my favorites in the NFL have always been on my team at some point.

    Except for the NBA. My first "favorite" NBA player was Shaq, but I never gave a ? about the Magic.

    2nd favorite NBA player in the 90s was John Starks.

    Fav NFL player now: Adrian Peterson (OU) and Julio Jones (Falcons)

    NBA: Russ (Thunder)

    Starks had a nice fan base for a nikka that played in the CBA.

    My favorite basketball player was always Jason Kidd so I was blessed enough to have him on my team at one point in life and now he's the coach so....

    Baseball I never really had a favorite player. Its weird when you grow up a Yankee fan and you watched your squad bogart its way to multiple chips during Torre years and later in 2009. I think most Yankee fans purely ? with players on the squad so I never had a particular favorite player who just didnt play for the Yankees.

    And I just never had a favorite football player. Odd ? now that I think about it. I guess I can say I was a big Curtis Martin fan. Actually Brett Favre was my favorite player growin up til he started acting like a ? his later years.

    Yeah, I can't really have a favorite player if they aren't on my team. Al Jefferson is my favorite. Before that, I guess it was gerald wallace. Before that? Probably Larry Johnson

    I know you give negative ? about the clippers but I feel the same way about Blake Griffin and OKC.

    It might be 7-8 years from now when he's on Vince Carter status with no knee ligaments chuckin' j's and 3's with a nappy beard --- but it will happen. Sooner or later.
