BYU's greatest player ever eh?

Kinda hard to argue that one

Dissenter

Some argue Danny Ainge was the greatest.

Yes, I love Jimmer, but Ainge was on another level. Not as a pure scorer, but

I don't think even Danny would make today's nba

I think he would. Ainge was bigger, faster, stronger, more aggressive, and

There is an age gap here on CB. Very few on here can actually lay claim to

Baseball? That's what we're using for athletic standards now? Interesting.

Disco LaFleur

You don't consider that applicable? Yet he's one of only two players since

He was also one of the few people to ever be All American in three sports.

Well, I think Jim Thorpe was an even better athlete. Are you even old enough to

Disco LaFleur

7/23/17 11:04pm

No, I'm not, so I wouldn't even comment. I'd leave it to those that watched him

Cougarfan777

7/23/17 11:10pm

Let's just agree that Jim Thorpe was the greatest athlete and call it a night.

Disco LaFleur

7/23/17 11:25pm

Deal. Although he wouldn't make today's NBA.

Cougarfan777

7/23/17 11:36pm

He hates today's NBA.

Disco LaFleur

7/23/17 11:38pm

Please. Ainge was a major contributor on some of the best Celtic teams ever.

Cougarfan777

7/23/17 10:31pm

And most of those guys wouldn't play in today's NBA either

Please stop. Don't make me name them. Okay I will. McHale? DJ? Parish? Um...

Mchale weighed 210 pounds, at PF he would get thrown around, that's 15 pounds

Charles Barkley has said many times that McHale was the greatest player he

Nice video. Vs Jabbar, Willis, Sampson, Ewing, Rollins, Laimbeer, Wilkins, etc

His playing weight later was 225. With his 8' wingspan, he'd be fine.

1986 players were 3.5 lbs lighter, but 0.6" taller on average vs 2015.

Wrong. Guy started on 3 NBA teams (Celtics, Trailblazers, Phoenix) that went to

Best BYU athlete hands down; one of best athletes, period says this guy:

The accomplishments mentioned in that video were even more than I realized.

Thanks for sharing. I knew most of this stuff, but had never seen this video.

Yes I am serious and don't call me Shirley.

I realize an argument can be made either way. Jimmer's my favorite. Was he the

The greatest player ever is debatable for sure
