Greatest College and Pro Basketball Players

[Barbarian-CBX]

Greatest college basketball player = David Thompson (NC State)

Greatest Pro basketball player = Michael Jeffery Jordan (Chi Bulls)

Yes? No? Then who?

I might be slightly bias because I grew up in NC.

Pistol Pete, all time leading scorer despite playing only 3 years and no 3pt line. And a joy to watch.

Bill Russel, 11 NBA titles in 13 years.

Larry "The Legend" Bird. There's an interesting story about how he got that name. It's because his father's last name is Bird.

The only time I liked and watched basketball is when Jordan was playing.

Then after one of the Bulls Championships I won a ticket to a Dennis Rodman Bulls Championship party downtown though WGN radio. He had to spend thousands on the food that was available.

When the old ABA still existed, saw Dr. J many times with the Virginia Squires

Carolina Cougars were in the ABA. Bones McKinney was the coach. Gene Littles was a player and he would come to a local park in Charlotte and coach the kids. Super nice guy.

Where does Wilt Chamberlain fit in this? I don't think anybody has ever beat his 100 points in a game yet.
