Considered as one of the most iconic basketball personas from the 80s and the old-school game mentality, the little guard playing in Detroit has one of the emblematic legacies as a guard.

More than 70% voted that he was a Top 5 "1" of all-time, an idea that fits quite well what's mostly believed by this app's outsider, including the media. There are even legit GOAT position cases about him like this blog . The points given are quite a product of the narrative though.

Victimes d'une lourde chute, Wout Van Aert , forfait pour le Ronde et Paris-Roubaix, et Mads Pedersen , qui a aussi abandonné hier, laissent la voie libre à Mathieu van der Poel. 28 Mar 2024 - L'Équipe YOHANN HAUTBOIS (avec P.L.G.)
