@JoJoAndMe said in Big Monday v Houston 8:00:
@wissox83 Many! (He was the best college basketball player of all-time.)
He was the best basketball player of all time. There fixed it for you. I don't know how anyone can put Wilt below anyone who ever played the game, except maybe Jordan.
-
@wissox83 Yes. Yes. Yes. I always ask the question: If you and a friend were going to pick the two best all-time basketball teams, and you had the first pick, would you pick Wilt or Jordan? No question. Wilt was literally an athletic freak at 7'1". He could dominate the game however he wanted to- points, rebounds or assists. Russell is only mentioned because he had a great team around him for many years. Wilt, had a good team around him once. I can say all this because I am fortunate to have seen him play!
-
@JoJoAndMe Wow, saw Wilt! I guess my 8 year old self, had I been prescient enough to see the future could have demanded my parents to take me to MSG to see Wilt when he played the Knicks because you know, some day I'll attend Kansas, and must see the GOAT in person!
-
Saw him at the Field House as a 12-year-old. Always wondered how a kid growing up in NY goes to school at Kansas. I was always under the impression that "you" New Yorkers thought civilization ended at the Hudson River!
-
@JoJoAndMe yeah it makes no $en$e

@JoJoAndMe Dad was a Bell System guy and ATT borrowed him from Illinois Bell for an engineering project when I was in grade school. Back to Illinois in 7th grade and ended up going to KU, so I'm not really a NY guy! Although the Mets and Yankees were my first baseball loves and my first game was in OLD Yankee stadium.
-
I took my 12-year-old son to "old" Yankee Stadium before they tore it down. He wore his Royals jersey. It was a typical NY experience. The stadium smelled and as we sat down in our seats, the 7-year-old sitting behind us yelled, "The Royals SUCK." (Welcome to New York)
-
@JoJoAndMe gosh , I wonder how many other stadiums fans say those kind of things ? Zero I'm sure lol , more likely fans bases say something more like Well good evening hope your doing well. Also say I must say I absolutely love your team color of your uni's lol
-
@ROCKCHALK2025 Actually . . . I've been to many different stadiums and sat among opposing fans. I remember the OU fans were very welcoming. Not Nebraska. Usually my family and I get some kind of welcoming greeting for coming from so far away. Ole Miss and Clemson fans were great.
I think you missed the fact that the "Royals Suck" greeting came from a seven-year-old there with his father who offered no apology. I'd rather be just about anywhere than New York. -
@JoJoAndMe Well everyone has an opinion just like I've been and hear plenty of others , you will be all right
