Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3986812, member: 7511"] This thread is becoming an exercise in “hair splitting.” While everyone Is entitled to their own criteria on what constitutes a “great” player, imo winning a championship in a “TEAM” sport is not an absolute requirement. Neither are individual honors such as AA or POY. To repurpose a famous line from former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, “I know it when I see it.” For me, Bascom, Dangerfield, Walker, Stockton, Malone and many others who never had the great good fortune to play on a championship team all fit the bill of achieving a level of greatness to be praised and admired. If Paige never wins an NCAA championship, she will nonetheless be considered a great player, not just by me, but literally millions of basketball fans. [/QUOTE]
