| Re: Your Top 5
In no particular order:
1. Barry Sanders - Detroit Lions: Watching him as a kid/teen got me hooked into football in the first place. The guy could stop on a dime and just change directions. Simply amazing. It's a shame the Lions couldn't even do anything playoff-wise when he was on the team.
2. Frank Thomas - Chicago White Sox: I was a huge fan of his as a member of the Sox, he truly was "The Big Hurt". I still have his jersey stashed away somewhere.
3. Steve Yzerman - Detroit Red Wings: The cornerstone of the Wings for the past 20 years. The guy played the game so well, and was a great leader. He helped bring the Wings out of the gutter to one of the best in the late 90's/early 00's.
4. Michael Jordan - Chicago Bulls: Come on now, this is no contest. Watching this guy on the court was like magic (no offense, Mr. Johnson). He was seemingly unstoppable. Will go down as the best. Ever. I loved going to Pistons/Bulls games during the 90's just to watch Jordan kick our asses.
5. Tom Brady - New England Patriots: Been following him since his days at Michigan. I don't really think I need to say much else about him. |
