ESPN top 25 Players all time

Postby mhettel » Wed Feb 13, 2008 3:24 pm

Anyone paying attention to ESPN's list of top 25 college players of all time?

They are up to 319 so far: 25-George Mikan, 24- David Robinson, 23-Calvin Murphy, 22- Austin Carr, 21- Tim Duncan, 20- Bob Kurland, 19- Elgin Baylor

Any guesses on the reamining 18? Here is a short list that I came up with (guys listed first are less likely that guys listed later): Glenn Robinson, Keith Van Horn, Danny Manning, Patrick Ewing, Shane Battier, Laettner, Hurley, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Walton, Oscar Robinson, Bill Russell, Wilt, Maravich

Others?

Good list. Other possibilities include: Jerry Lucas, Ralph Sampson, Steve Alford, Michael Jordan, Jerry West, David Thompson.

My favorites include David West, Jameer Nelson, Marcus Camby, and Wally World!

If Battier or Hurley is on the list, I will never watch ESPN again. That would be a joke.

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

While we're naming Duke guys, how about JJ Redick . . . he is that all-time leading scorer in the ACC.

Thought about Reddick- But he didn't win anything at Duke. I realize that many of the guys on the list didn't win anything either, but this is Duke, and that expected.

Thought about Jordan- Only 2 years there so I wasn't sure if that would be held against him.

Thought about Alford- But I just wasn't sure I knew how good he was. I know he was a prodigy and a local kid, but I always got the feeling that his legend was bigger than he was.
