No one was ever better in college basketball than Bill Walton ... but IMO same can be said of Lew Alcindor(Jabbar) and David Thompson.

I hesitate to post this, as I fear that it might induce a stroke for Cat Forever.

Ant Man is on his way to becoming the face of the NBA. If the T-Wolves win the championship ... he will become that overnight. If they don't win it may take a few more seasons.
