I kinda like Bob Cousy of the old Celtics. Even back then he was considered short for a basketball player and yet he certainly was one of the most important factors in making the Celtics the team they were.
October 21, 2009
Cousy was retired as a player when I started watching basketball so I have only seen him on tape (I guess you can say the same for Babe Ruth who made my list but I am a Yankee fan all the way). If I had to pick a Celtic to add it would have been Larry Bird or Bill Russell (saw him play in his last season).
October 21, 2009
Russell out lasted Cousy but they were contemporaries when the Celtics were at their greatest.

No doubt he was a great player and is part of one of the most memorable basketball highlights (Cousy stole the ball). I probably could have also included on my list Jon Havlicek who played late 60's to early 70's.

Yep, I remember him too.

Great list indeed! But what happened to all those fantastic female performers? None is there! Also, I expected to find either Jesse Owens or Carl Lewis there. Shouldn't one of them be there?
October 08, 2009
You are going to get me in trouble here. When I thought about this list it was my "favorite" all-time. Granted there were many great female performers and definately Owens and Lewis were great. Maybe if I make a new list of "greatest performers" I will keep them in mind.
