323SGrant Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I’m biased. My first basketball heroes were Norm Van Lier, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Tom Boerwinkle, and Jerry Sloan. You got to be kidding Stuhoo. I loved that team! Including Jerry Sloan. He took E’ville College, to Division 2 National Championships. Sloan and Norm Van Lier would not give up easy buckets. IMHO, Sloan was a great defensive player and rebounder! Good discussion, btw. I’m bummed to hear of his passing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Stuhoo 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Again, I saw him play many years in college and I would take him on my team any day. IMHO he was not great. I guess it depends on what you call great. Do you know who Evansville College played in those days? I saw who they played. Stat’s don’t tell everything Stu. I know you know that. He averaged 15 pts. per game at EC, but like I said, stats., aren’t everything. I saw the teams they were playing. You should be ashamed comparing him to Oscar Robertson. Ha! Are you going to say he was comparable to Jerry West next? Lol! You said he was pretty great. Additionally, as I mentioned previously, I’ve been referring to college participation only. I’d give him an A defensively, an A in rebounding and a C in shooting, especially from the outside. He was tough as nails and Larry Humes was a good friend of his and I would take Jerry Sloan on my team in a heartbeat. I loved his play. I rooted for him throughout his career. I only put a very few in the “great” category.

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 I will be redoing my top college basketball teams of the past 20 years. Pretty much a given that Kansas will be #1 still but I guess that’ll happen you go like 16 for 20 in conference championships. Quote
