« on: October 29, 2008, 10:39:53 AM »
hello fellow chrome domes:  which former athlete...do  U miss?  i'll start:  i miss #23 michael jordan.  imo... i think he was the greatest basketball player of all time.  i miss his competiveness, passion, & entertainment that he brought 2 the nba.  the nba isn't the same without him.

so... how 'bout U?  which former athlete... do U miss?  and why?  what's your story?

I miss the greatest NBA Team of all time......the starting five for the Boston Celtics.....

Kevin McHale

Larry Bird

Dennis Johnson

Robert Parrish

Danny Anige

As you can tell I was a big Boston Celtics fan but WARHAWK is right.....MJ was one of the best players ever and he is missed in the NBA like Dale Earnhardt is missed in NASCAR..... O0

GOLDBERG!!!!



The way wrestling works, he may be wrestling again now...  But haven't watched in a few years.

Before WCW, he played for the Falcons.. here is with hair. 



This picture is Bill Goldberg.. definitely not our friend GOLDBERG.

Didn't even have to think on this one, beyond a doubt, Sweetness, Walter Payton.

He can be over the top as a studio host, but without a doubt, my all time favorite NBA Player.....

The Round Mound of Rebound, Sir Charles....Charles Barkley.

The guy played with more determination, heart, and guts than anyone I've ever seen on the court.

Frank Robinson..........Baseball Hall of Famer and former Baltimore Oriole.

The guy was an amazing player...... I saw him actually carry the team for weeks at a time with bat, glove, and base running.

I haven't seen a player remotely as good as him (in all phases of the game)since he retired.
