Ernie Banks Ryne Sandberg

and while its largely a function of the era in which he played and no expanded playoffs banks never so much as got a single post season at bat.

[Paulie]

I gotta put Iverson on this list. The little dude could play some ******* ball.

Lebron James. But you'll have to take him off this list after this season.

Shawn Kemp.

Shawn Kemp? Wow, that's really weak.

May as well throw in World B. Free, Artis Gilmore, Nate Thurmond, Dave Bing, Bob McAdoo, Connie Hawkins, etc.

Toss in all the really good Denver Broncos players who played under Dan Reeves when they got blown out of those Super Bowls, and those poor Buffalo Bills players who got beat in all of those Super Bowls.

 

[Unknown_Soldier]

not counting Olympic gold

Jim Thorpe

^^ this is STILL the answer.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Willie McCovey
Hugh McElhenny

 

[BluePhantom]

Wow....you could go on forever on this topic with just football alone: Jim Kelly, Steve Largent, Fran Tarkenton, Thurman Thomas, Kenny Easley, Cortez Kennedy, Tim Brown, Andre Reed, Cris Carter, Randy Moss....I mean the list goes on and on

 

[imbalance]

Shawn Kemp.

If populating the US with bastard children is a sport, then I'd agree. Shawn Kemp all day.
