It's now the 4th of July weekend, and though people have partied hard, the My List special continues. However, since the weekend might not see the kind of viewship here that weekdays normally have, I'm going to post the lower seeds today and tomorrow to get them out of the way. Today, the focus will be on the two lowest seeds, the Toronto Raptors (#28) and the Memphis Grizzlies (the lowest seed at #29). Since these teams have been in existence for only a decade, their lineups are fairly recent. Therefore, I'll keep the rundown pretty brief. Let's start with Toronto:

Starters:

PG: Damon Stoudamire: Won the 1995-96 ROY for the first year club, and averaged close to 20 PPG and nearly 9 APG in his two full seasons there.

SG: Doug Christie: Revived his career after being left for dead in L.A. and New York, Christie averaged better than 14 PPG in three of his four full seasons, though his most noteworthy stuff happened in Sacramento.

C: Chris Bosh: Already among the elite bigs in the NBA, Bosh is a two-time (or three-time, but one of the two) All-Star and the face of the entire organization (I don't have current stats, so I can't go in depth here).

SF: Vince Carter: Multi-time All-Star who won the 2000 slam dunk contest and, for a time, revived that event, Carter helped Toronto win its only playoff series win (against New York in 2001) before being traded to New Jersey.

PF: Marcus Camby: As a young player in Toronto from 1996-98, Camby led the league in blocks per game in 1997-98 (3.65). He averaged 13 PPG and about 6 1/2 RPG, and later on won Defensove POY with the Nuggets in 2007.

Reserves:

PG: Alvin Williams: Williams was a steady PG for the Raptors early in the decade, and started for them when they reached the second round in 2001, before injuries ended his career early.

SG: Morris Peterson: Peterson was (and still is) a one-trick pony; he could stroke the three and become instant offense, and he did play there from 2000-07.

C: Hakeem Olajuwon: He's here because (A) the Raptors haven't had many centers worth noting, (B) his career was great (and I said when I started this thing, career accomplishments would be taken into account if the pool is weak), and (C) would you rather see Oliver Miller? I didn't think so.

SF: Tracy McGrady: Again, career over what happened in Toronto; aside from his solid 2000-01 season, McGrady did little in Toronto, but he did win two scoring titles in Orlando.

PF: Charles Oakley: I'm not going to keep repeating; career over Toronto. Period.

Coaches:

Head Coach: Sam Mitchell: Won the COY award last season (see how shallow these teams are?)

Assistants: Lenny Wilkens, Butch Carter: Wilkens took the team to its only postseason win, and Carter took the team to its first playoff and winning season.

Now for the Grizzlies (these teams are so shallow, there are no "Honorable Mentions").

Starters:

PG: Jason Williams: Played for the team from 2001-05. His flashy play wasn't consistent, and his highlight came after he was traded to Miami, where he won an NBA title.

SG: Bonzi Wells: Well-rounded guard/forward had a couple decent years in Memphis.

C: Pau Gasol: The NBA fans saw what he could (and couldn't) do with the Lakers, but before that, he made several All-Star teams as a Grizzly. That is quite an accomplishment.

SF: Mike Miller: Before his recent trade to Minnesota, Miller was a solid scorer (and not much else) for Memphis.

PF: Shareef Abdur-Rahim: It's a shame that his best stats years were wasted in Vancouver/Memphis, but while he was there, Abdur-Rahim was among the best forwards (stats wise) in the NBA.

Reserves:

PG: Mike Bibby: Played solid ball for the team from 1998-2001, then exploded when he was traded to Sacramento for Williams in 2001.

SG: Rudy (G)ay: If it gets ####'s, you know the name, and he is a rising young guard in the depths of Memphis.

C: Lorenzen Wright: Because I couldn't put Bryant Reeves on this list and not feel like #### for doing it.

SF: Shane Battier: Battier was the defensive stalwart when Memphis had a decent run a few years ago, and with Houston, he's among the elite defenders in the NBA.

PF: James Posey: Because of what he did later with the Heat and Celtics to help them win championships (and because I didn't want Reeves!).

Coaches:

Head Coach: Hubie Brown: Led club to record 50 wins in 2003-04 and to first playoff berth.

Assistants: Mike Fratello, Sidney Lowe: Fratello led Memphis to its other two playoff berths and winning records, and Lowe, well, he coached a little more than two seasons. What can I say?

Well, I'm glad that's over. Hopefully, things will get better tomorrow, when the Timberwolves come up (who would have thought that?). Take care, and have a safe weekend!
