How can the original "MJ" not be on the ALL-Time Team?

While he certainly wasn't the MJ most all people originally think of Marques Johnson is easily the third or fourth greatest Buck ever. In my opinion if Marques' career had not been cut short we would ALL be thinking of him only behind Kareem (Lew).

Kareem is an obvious number one even though he left the Bucks entering the prime of his career. Oscar played only a few years with the Bucks but was still a prominent player. Marques was an exceptional small forward for years playing in some great match-ups against Dr.J and then also Larry Bird.

ALL-TIME BUCKS (regardless of position)

Kareem "The Big Fella", Marques, Oscar "Big O", Terry "TC" Cummings, Sidney "Sid".

(honorable mention: Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson, Ray Allen, Bobby "The Greyhound" Dandridge, Michael Redd, Brian Winters, Junior Bridgeman, Jon McGlocklin (had to put Mr. Buck in there), Bob "The Dobber" Lanier

Alex English would have been easily number two if we had kept him.

Marques never gets his deserved place in Bucks lore. He was great for many years and if he had a better back(one leg shorter than the other), and not had a substance abuse problems he would surely get his deserved recognition. 

Marques will always be the second greatest Buck of ALL-TIME to me. (No offense to Sid)

Will you stop drinking Miller beers now that MillerCoors has announced it will move to Chicago?
Yes, I'm no longer loyal to the brand.
No, Miller beer will still be made in Milwaukee.
I didn't drink it before, and I won't drink it after.
I'm not sure yet, but of all places, did they have to move to Chicago?
At least they won't be based in Dallas or Denver.
