  • 1973 NBA MVP
  • 1971 NBA Co-Rookie of the Year
  • Seven-time All-Star
  • Named one of the 50 best players in NBA history (1996)

  • 10,444 career rebounds
  • 17.6 career ppg
Did you know.......Dave Cowens is Florida State's all-time leading rebounder?

    It is absolutely Peyton Manning! No disrespect to any other HUMAN who has worn #18, but it comes a time when you gotta recognize.

    Clearly the rule is no active players. It will be Payton even if he breaks both his knees tomorrow. That said, can we lay off college players? Four years is not enough time to be the best at anything.

    He had a chance to be the best, but came up quite short. Darryl Strawberry was still the most exciting guy that I've ever seen when he had a bat in his hand, and I've been watching baseball a pretty long time. Bonds and McGwire were fun too and would have loved to see Ruth.

  12. Manning is #1 at #18 for sure, but second place (and former first place) should be Denis Savard, not Dave Cowens!
