Wow, guess people only remember Denham for missing that 3 at the buzzer in OT against Mason in 06′. I choose to remember him for that rim hanging reverse layup that extended the 06′ season 5 more minutes. However, I did vote for Anderson. All around he had a bigger impact during the 04′ title run.
Think Rashad’s popularity is carrying him through. Statistically, and historically, they’re very similar. I’m surprised Rashad is dominating so much.
The Slash nickname is what did it for me. Also, the funky shot release.
And of course, the best entry in police blotter history. Jumping out at people in the Scream get up with a fake knife on Halloween. That was maybe the most hilarious story ever.
