So the lack of real sports has caused many of us to run out of things to discuss, argue about, debate, etc. I was part of an email chain yesterday from a friend who had a concept of sharing your “favorite” starting five in basketball. Not necessarily the “best” players or the most accomplished, but guys you liked rooting for, would want on your pickup team, have dinner with, ould wear their jersey proudly, etc. The only other rule is to keep some positional integrity within reason (ie not 3 centers and 2 pgs).
It was an interesting concept and led to some fun sharing. I thought it would be a good idea to translate this to a “favorite” Hoya five. To start it off, here’s what I settled on for mine:
PG - Allen Iverson
SG - Jabril Trawick
SF - Otto Porter
PF - Jeff Green
C - Dikembe Mutumbo
