Favorite basketball players of all time ? ?

Hi everyone. Who are your all-time favorite basketball players?

I'm a Tar Heel fan. I go back as far as 1983 (AFTER James Worthy & Phil
Ford). I'd have to say:

* Michael Jordan. (duh) He did the tongue-thing even back then.

* Vince Carter. What a dunker he was, could hit the 3 too.

* Shammond Williams. Vastly underrated, his FT and 3-point shooting
were amazing. So he didn't pull it off in the 1997 & 1998 Final Four,
neither did most of his teammates.

* Antawn Jamison. Remember his 33 point outburst against Maryland AT
Maryland early in his freshmen year, and his hitting a winning
buzzer-beater in overtime? Could tell right-away he was a future
national player of the year.

* Rasheed Wallace. Was fiery even then, but within reason--and his
emotional tendencies actually were GOOD, kept the team fired up and
energetic and were a joy to watch. His dunks were legendary.

* George Lynch. The heart & soul of the 1993 National Championship
team. I almost got his autograph in Chapel Hill at the rally they had
the day afterwards. (I did get Pat Sullivan's & Kevin Salvadori's.)

* Donald Williams. His clutch shooting during the 1993 season was huge
for the title run.

I know, someone's going to say "I could you leave out" (fill in the
blank). The list was already too long as it was, had to stop somewhere.

I apologize. I don't know how this got in this newsgroup, my apologies.

OK, this is weird. How does this person post a message in
rec.sport.basketball.college and not show this newsgroup (and digital) in
the "newsgroups" field, yet the reply ends up here? I (and anyone else, I'm
sure) apologies for this mess-up. How does this happen though?

It's done by setting Followups to a different News Group than the one
the troll posts in originally.

In this case, I've added back rec.sport.basketball.college and set the
followup to that group.

There's probably a way to do this with OE, but I don't use that program.
Ironically, the troll has started a good thread for bb.college, but it
just doesn't fit too well in photography groups, which seem to have
attracted his recent ire.

Best of luck! (I was born in Illinois, but won't say anything about the
Illini....)
