Come on Mau.  We've been doing this for about 7 or 8 years now.  My point was, "the guy was an important part of 11 and THE reason we won 14."  So that's two.  You cannot seriously counter with, "yeah but these two guys were important to 1."

I get why Shabazz doesn't get more votes in the "greatest Husky ever" poll.  It's part legitimate argument, and part the guy just doesn't look the part.

I mean, you've got a guy like Ben Freaking Gordon, with 40" vertical, tremendous athleticism, incredible long ball.  You've got Ray Allen - one of the greatest shooters in the history of the planet.  Had his own movie.

Shabazz - undersized.  Don't recall him ever dunking.  Not particularly athletic.  Didn't make a big splash in the NBA.

I get it.  It's tough to vote for somebody for homecoming queen when there are multiple hotter chicks in the running.

Not just 2 natties, one of which has his name carved in it for the ridiculous hero-ball he played and the other of which he played significant important minutes as a Frosh.  He also kept the program together during the beginning of our darkest time, pulling a Natty out of the jaws of the dark beast that Ollie created, on the way down, while most of us didn't suspect the rot that was about to set in.
