Laimbeer was here over the summer, as Rochester, MN held the 14-under girls national AAU tournament. He had a daughter on one of the teams out of Detroit, but she didn't play very many minutes...
Oh, by the way... Jordan. I can't believe there's even an argument. |

"Best" is such a subjective word. Let me add another "Best" catagory. Dikembe Mutombo went to Georgetown on an academic scholorship in pre-med. He is now using a bunch of his millions to build a hospital and med school in his native Congo. Get's my vote for best off the court. Jim

Best Single Game Stat Ever
Several years ago USA Today surmised that the single game stat that is the most likely to never be broken in the major sports of the U.S. is the 50+ rebounds in a game by Wilt. Their logic was that the single game point record will be eventually be broken by a player with four teammates doing nothing but feeding him the ball, but they won't be able to control rebounds like that. Can't argue with that logic.

>he could not believe the intensity with which Michael Jordan played defense.
>I think that while all these players were great players, Michael is the greatest player ever. YES! MJ is the best ever because he played *both* ends of the floor. Russell is #2: because he won at every level and was perhaps the greatest defender of all time. Defense, in all sports (look at the last three Super Bowls), is key to championship level success. Even Shaq's group didn't get over the top until Phil ( a hard nosed defender in his day) showed up and showed 'em how. Quote:

Hey, I'll give Lambier and his crew their due. Once again
an example where defense = champioships. Jordan over rated? LOL, name the ONLY other player to lead the NBA in scoring after turning 30. The other guy only did it once, and at age 30. Jordan did it 4 or 5 times, winning championships in some of the same years, AND being all NBA on the defensive side at that age too. Best ppg career average and he plays into his 40's. I'm not sure about this one, did anyone else lead the NBA in scoring and get named 1st team NBA on defense in the same year(s)? Quote:

True...I did't say "good," but the point is he is
defensive minded, and he clearly brought that to LA. Not that they are a great defensive club now, but they got better enough to turn the corner. Quote:
