    Not who was the best, but who was the most slick, too the point where it was annoying. Like "Come on on quit slipping so much throw a counter already" type of annoying.

    I thought of Locche as I typed that.

    His offense was often underwhelming. But, his defense was just incredible in his prime.

    Toney and Tubbs too.

    Some of the guys on this list seem more "speedy" than "slick" though.

    Boiled down, the classic slickster is Jimmy Young.
