ESPN top 25 Players all time

[Jaimoe13]

Bill Bradley

Somehow I don't see Erik Edwards making the list. Where's the love for Double E, Mr. DE player of the year?

Being too young to have seen Oscar, the best player I ever saw play in college, in person, was Austin Carr. I'm not talking TV, where names like David Thompson and Bill Walton come to mind. Austin's last two years he averaged 35 ppg, without either a three-point line or shot clock.

[Theo Huxtable]

Hurley is not on that list, no way in hell. However you should see len bias, danny manning for sure and you might even see Hank Gathers soon.

Mark Smydra!!

Didn't Calihan or Vitale have a great college player at Detroit who went on to have a fine NBA career? I just can't remember his name. Must be a touch of Denny Crane's Mad Cow Disease!

[Mr. Neutral]

Thinking of Spencer Haywood, nick?

List of all Univ. of Detroit players who've gone on to the NBA.

Maravich was my all-time personal favorite, and he absolutely has to be on that list. Artis Gilmore (TRIVIA Q: anybody remember the name of his fellow 7-foot teammate? Bonus TRIVIA Q: Anybody remember the musical instrument the teammate played?) should probably be there too. Dean "The Dream" Memminger doesn't make top 25, but if there's an "honorable mention" category, I'd throw him there.

If Shane Battier or Keith Van Horn are even in the Top 200 that would be ridiculous.

Huh? I agree about Van Horn...but Shane Battier should be in the Top 5. He was All-Everything in college. It could be argued that he's the all-around best college player in the last 20 years.

There's nothing he wasn't good at. He scored, he defended, he rebounded, he blocked shots, he led, he won, etc, etc, etc.

[bluegrass]

No way is Battier in the top 25.Great player in his time but not among the all time greats.Would you put him ahead of Mavarich,Alcindor,Walton,Robertson or Laetner? NO

[SM#24]

Here's the top 11 names to me, in no particular order, and I 'm not sure which one doesn't make the top 10:
Lew Alcindor
Michael Jordan
David Thompson
Oscar Robertson
West (Jerry that is)
Magic Johnson
Larry Bird
Bill Walton
Bill Russell
Pete Maravich
Patrick Ewing

Potentials for 12-18: Ralph Sampson, Chris Mullin, Jerry Lucas, Danny Manning, Hakeem Olajuwon, Bill Bradley, Rick Mount, Lenny Bias, Christian Laettner, Bob Lanier, maybe Isaiah Thomas (not sure how they will look at only two years).
