Larry Nance was a bit more than a role player, no? I didn't watch as much back then. As was Hersey Hawkins at one point iirc but I don't remember his different phases

bj armstrong belongs in the bulls role player hof. i remember my buddies and i joking that he was called bj because he was "only" 6'2". we were infantile.

fat lever was unreal for a few years there - per game averages from 87-90 - 19 pts, 9 boards, 7.5 dimes, 2.5 steals. and the dude was 6'3"!!

Lever is one of only three players in NBA history to record 15 plus points, rebounds, and assists in a single playoff game (the others being Jason Kidd and Wilt Chamberlain).

yeah other than ewing it seemed like everybody on those knicks teams were role players
basically what i am saying is, charles motherfucking oakley
i also remember watching a game where dennis rodman actually put the ball up and scored and everybody laughed, both in the game, in the booth, and in my house

honorable mention for dudes like michael finley who had 1-2 all star seasons that they converted into 8-10 solid role player years of slowly diminishing performance
i feel like there's a slew of guys like this that almost made it/made it and quickly dropped off but maintained an overall solid game for several years

To clarify, eligible players did not play in the 2010-2011 season or later.
If a player was third-team NBA, is he eligible?
If a player was an all-star injury replacement, is he eligible?
