In celebration of the widely-recognized, Greatest of All
Time, Michael Jordan’s 49th birthday (though KKS will always be quick to give an
appreciative nod to Mr. Bill Russel and his untouchable 11 NBA World
Championships), here’s this writer’s take on the Top Ten guys who were arguably
the closest we’ve had to our own version of the Global Icon.
10. Gary David (Powerade Tigers)
One of today’s most feared and respected gunners, David
often finds himself in the Jordan role of lead arsenal. Winning games mostly on
sheer Jordanesque will in an un-Jordan-like come-from-behind fashion (don’t
really recall a year in those 6 rings campaign wherein MJ was a clear cut
underdog), David is a tribute to the “young” MJ who was dropping 30 and 40 point
games but couldn’t break even owing to a so-so roster and subpar coaching
(sorry Doug Collins fans). Only setback why David isn’t higher on this list is
his age and ring count.
