I'll take a shot at your loaded question with the obvious answer:
1a. The veteran who has carried his team in his only other stop in the NBA to whom he was loyal until they showed their true colors as being business men rather than anything resembling knowledgable basketball lovers; Which in the end doomed their ability to be good businessmen with their product in the future! IMO
1b. Answer: 6-11, 220 lbs., 12 Year Profesional
Big hearted Kevin Garnett

Although the young guns mentioned are not to be thought of as being at all slighted by my opinion to this loaded question.
