Was having this conversation with a friend. My list:

PG: Sherman Douglas
SG: Kerry Kittles
SF: Chris Mullin
PF: Ryan Gomes

"Most hated starting 5" would be interesting as well.

A name I haven't seen mentioned in a while is Carl Krauser of Pitt. I can still see him making the X with his arms clearly in my head.

Couple of the guys were slightly before my time but they are two of my all-time favorite NBA players.

Yup but those guys were beasts on the court. I remember Kittles absolutely lighting us up for 37 when we were ranked #1 for the first time in school history. Really humbling.

Yup. I was at that one – he was unstoppable. Another one of those guys (like Ray) who'd be 25% more valuable in today's NBA.

I loved watching Pearl.

 

[uconnisgood]

Two that I really liked....even though the first may depress some people for one of the most heart breaking losses I've ever seen in a regular season game are Darius Rice and Herve Laminzana (sp)

How about Dominic James too.

Can't think of five...well I could but those are three that really stick out.

Patrick Ewing
Derrick Coleman
Chris Mullin
Sleepy Floyd
Pearl Washington

Michael Adams (this was long before BC became BCU). Hartford kid, liked his style of play (little guard who could launch it) and almost got BC to the '85 FF - would have completed the Big East sweep.

Pearl Washington - fun to watch

Patrick Ewing - was a dominating presence in those even though they only won 1.

John Wallace

Ed Pinckney

Mark Jackson

(was easier to like players on other BE teams before UConn became a national power)

 

[huskypantz]

Allen Iverson
Kerry Kittles
Ron Artest
Jerome Williams
Alonzo Mourning

 

[scotty0330]

Boo Harvey- loved the name
Eric Murdock
Lawrence Moten
Scottie Reynolds---great first name
Patrick Ewing

 

[Horatio]

Shammgod
Moten
Kittles
Sealy
Joe Alexander

*The entire St. John's Mike Jarvis / Eric Barkley era ( loved our games against them)

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I loved Darius Johnson-Odom's game. Wasn't the greatest anything of all time, but he could just play.

Bootsie Thornton - no conscience at all

Darius Rice - Imagine if he had anyone with him that could play basketball

Winner.....by a lot. W Billy Owens as 6th man

 

[Dogbreath2U]

Great suggestions..........Question: Is the all-time favorite based on how they played in general, or against UConn especially?
