Earl "The Pearl" Monroe was the man averaging 43 points a game at Winston Salem! "Black Jesus" was unstoppable and was at his best in the NBA with the Baltimore Bullets before moving on to the Knicks where he won a chip in the same backcourt as Walt "Clyde" Frazier - what a great backcourt that was.

@dudermcdude9245 3 года назад

Payton didn't have an offensive line. And he still is a top 5 All-time NFL great.

@raymondricksjr5026 4 года назад

Why is Bob Dandridge so forgotten? Average 32ppg 17rpg in his senior year at Norfolk State University, 4x NBA all-star and was a superstar who played with Kareem Abdul Jabar and Oscar Robertson in Milwaukee. Two time NBA champion, and made it to the All NBA Team and defensive team in 1978-79 season with the Washington Bullets.

@raymondricksjr5026 4 года назад

Not to disrespect the list but Bob Dandridge played well in the playoffs, and he was considered the most exciting player in the NBA. Dandridge, Abdul Jabar, and Robertson are considered the best big three when they formed.

Jerry Rice at #4??? He is arguably the GOAT in NFL

@jerrygoldfarb7739 2 года назад

GOAT of the WR's for sure but the GOAT is Jim Brown-averaged 5.22 yds. per carry-was the ultimate combination of strength, speed and desire-never missed a game-no one player could bring him down-if had not retired so young would have put the rushing records out of reach-if you are too young to have seen him watch some clips and prepare to be amazed-but I agree that Rice should be higher than 4, at least 2nd (Steven A. went with Earl because went to same HBCU, Winston Salem)

@beginnerkeys Год назад

As a wide receiver, YES! I hate to admit it, BUT, THE NFL GOAT IS NOW TOM BRADY.PERIOD! (Our GIANTS ruined THE GOAT in TWO SUPER BOWLS and Eli Manning will always give Brady Nightmares!)
