Re(15): My top ten American Backcourters, agree?, or revise

Nobody has mentioned Lance. He may not be top 10 all time but he is a lot better than many players who have already been named here.
Also Sanchez from Miami, Ron of old school World Jai-Alai days, Jimmy from Miami, Farah from Orlando.
The top 5 should be pretty clear:
1 Daniel
2 Marshall
3 James
4 Wayne
5 Bob
Based on what they accomplished those players stand out, and I'm counting Lasa as of Basque heritage for this list.
Not everyone will agree with the order there, but those should be the consensus top 5. These players separated themselves from the pack with Daniel and Marshall getting to star status.
After these 5 there are many ways to round out the top 10. You would have to consider Ray aka Ramon, Sergio(Miami), Sanchez, Chaz, Leif, Victor and Dennis and that already gets you to 12 with many very good players remaining too.
