Here’s a current top ten list that may or may not add some fuel to the fire:
10. Tim Duncan
9. Hakeem Olajuwon
8. Shaquille O’Neal
7. Oscar Robertson
6. Bill Russell
5. Earvin “Magic” Johnson
4. Larry Bird
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
2. Wilt Chamberlain
1. Michael Jordan
It’s interesting to note that Michael Jordan was actually cut from his high school basketball team but never gave up. He is a terrific role model for today’s youth and has always been known for being very humble. Many of todays other superstar athletes could take a lesson or two from his book. In an age where arrests and convictions for a variety of offences have become common place, we need a few great athletes to try and make up for the rest of the antics.
