if you are over the age of 15 and don't say Geert Hammink, you have no soul.

Well I'm only 23 years old so growing up going to the games my favorite player would have to be Maurice Carter! Hands down he was my guy back then. Of recent years you have to love D. Mitch and always liked Hudson dude was a beast in the SEC tourney he used to light it up in the GA Dome.

Jose Vargas


I remember being at a game when he played and LSU was on offense, the crowd was quiet, Jose got the ball in the post, and my brother-in-law jumped up and screamed DON'T SHOOT JOSE! as loud as he could. I fell out of my chair laughing........he really wasn't a good shooter...he bricked the shot

We had the greatest player of all time (Pistol Pete) there is no other answer. But I guess since we have a lot of younger dudes on the rant, we need to consider the 80's, 90's & beyond. Dale Brown produced some very good players & teams. But a few names that really bring out good memories are Don Redden, Chris Jackson, Leonard Mitchell, Howard (Hi-C) Carter & we had a certain player with the last name of O'Neil, who will appear in the NBA Hall of Fame very shortly after he retires.

Ethan "E" Martin without a doubt the best point guard ever. Ate the great Isiah Thompsons lunch when we played Indiana. Could penetrate a zone defense like it wasn't even there. Understand he was the last player cut by the Cleveland Cavaliers.........what a shame.

Oliver Brown was one hell of a defender. I always liked him.
