# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day Don't mention a certain former WVU, Mich Coach.
Whether he challenges MJ's 1 spot or not depends on how many more rings he gets.
IMO it's more than just that. MJ changed professional athletics forever. Before MJ, # of championships wasn't as large of a deciding factor in discussions like these. Before MJ, sports analysts did not require you to have a "clutch gene" to be considered elite. Before MJ, the idea of an athlete having his own brand (not just his own shoe, just just his own line, but his own brand) was unheard of.
From our perception as viewers/fans, MJ brought the game to a new level and changed the way we watch games and judge players. Lebron could be more skilled than MJ, but I don't think he'll be remembered as fondly, simply because he did not change the game the way MJ did.
I think that, 30 years down the road, Steph Curry has a better shot of being mentioned in the same breathe as MJ than Lebron does. JMO.

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day I wish I knew that when I first joined
but they have been beating us because we stopped being the tougher team on the field.
This 100%

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day Fair to say Fuente and Company will have to battle it out because Laborn is definitely a take for them if he wants to go
I like our chances in a battle with Coach Fu
I would without a doubt up my hokie club donations if part of the money went towards breeding Fullers.
Yeah... get Norman and Fuller on the corners, Benwikere covering the slot, Boston and Coleman at Safety with Kuechly, Davis (if he doesn't retire... heard he might), and Shaq Thompson locking it down at LB... That would be a pretty tough defense to attack, even with the current pass rush.
Can't wait to see what the team can do with Benjamin back next year. Should be a pretty fun offense to watch. Not going to be able to double Greg Olsen all the time while doubling Benjamin, and if they do, Philly Brown or Ginn will be open all day long, and the half the time they do catch the ball, they should go for pretty big gains.
Yeah, Wilt is the best, but when people make these lists they add TEAM criteria like championships to water down individual accomplishments.
Wilt and Russell are hurt because so little footage exists of their exploits.
I'll respectfully say that I personally don't think LeBron has done anything MJ didn't
Because most of us go by the big picture instead of anecdotes.
Look at the top 10 programs, look how they recruit over time.
Kendall and Josh Norman locking it down in Charlotte would be very pleasing indeed.

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day 2nd year living here. Elem PE Teacher/HS football Coach. Always wanted to work in urban school setting. My job offers out of college were Cville City, Richmond(John Marshall HS), Petersburg HS and an Elem school in Williamsburg. I'm from Bedford and better half is from Harrisonburg. Having a toddler, we felt it best to stay relatively close to both grandparents which landed us here in "The 'Ville." I was expecting "Hooville" to be just that but in my experience, just as many non UVa fans around here as there are Hoos which is nice.
I keep seeing people mocking Kendall to the Panthers.
This would please me
This could become the defacto "why is he/she/it a failure", "plays for the Browns".
SET THE TONE!

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day Wow. I always thought Ambrose was pretty thorough and accurate with his work. The stuff he wrote always lined up well with the other reading and research I've done concerning D-Day. However, I have always been interested more in the 29th rather than the 101st, which everybody worships and thinks beat back the Nazis from Normandy single handedly.

2200 legs in just under 6 months.
Gotta get some gifs and pretty woman lined up for posts son, or you better bring the pun
I'm a Celtics fan, homegrown in the northeast and from the generation that only heard of the legend of Larry Bird and Bill Russell. Grew up watching MJ,
It seems worthless debating the top 10, since everyone's opinion will reflect where they are from and who they watched play. Having been 25 something years too late to see Bill Russell, I still think he deserves the top spot.
The man went 11/13, not on a good night of free-throw shooting, but in NBA titles.
He Jackie Moon'd it for a few years, serving as player-coach, after Red retired and before Tommy Heinsohn took over. He did this during a really tumultuous time for race relations and I believe he was technically the first black coach ever in the NBA.
He and Wilt Chamberlain went head to head for years, and they may be the two most dominant big men of all time. The difference being, Bill Russell won 11 NBA championships in only 13 seasons, only 2 for Wilt. 11 titles is something we will never see replicated again in any major sport.
