Michael Finley put up some pretty good numbers but I don't think you can call him great.

Ditto this. In addition to his numbers, he helped rebuild one of the 5 worst franchises in the NBA into one of the 5 best. He stuck it out through the horrible years, and I don't blame him a bit for signing with the Spurs. He didn't want to leave the Mavs, he wanted his ring to really mean something (like, "this is my team, and I was integral to our championship). But Cuban didn't give him that option (not that I blame Cubes for dumping 51 million in salary cap), so more power to Fin...if the Mavs or Rockets can't get a ring next season, I hope he and NVE do.
But don't dare call him not great...and when Larry Hughes has done for an entire career what Finley has done, on a personal statistical and team success level...then I'll call him a Great as well.
