All-time collge teams - list yours here

[NavinRJohnson]

I'll start with the obvious one that dwarfs all others....UCLA:

Lew Alcindor
Bill Walton
Gail Goodrich
Sidney Wickes
Marques Johnson

John Wooden  - Coach

[Wareagle]

UNC (going off of how good they were in college)

Michael Jordan
James Worthy
Tyler Hansbrough
Phil Ford
Antawn Jamison

Coach - Dean Smith

[nyg]

Go with my heart:

Jim Chones
Maurice Lucas
Larry McNeil
Dean Meminger
Dwayne Wade

Coach - Al

[MUfan12]

I'll go with the other team I root for... Duke.

Jason Williams
Grant Hill
Shane Battier
Christian Laettner
Elton Brand

Coach K

[reinko]

I'll go with the other team I root for... Duke.

Jason Williams
Grant Hill
Shane Battier
Christian Laettner
Elton Brand

Coach K

I hate Duke, but I do remember Johnny Dawkins being a sweet PG...and wasn't Grant Hill a 3?  I would bump him down to SF and put Reddick in at 2.

[MUfan12]

Yeah, Hill and Battier played the 3... Redick disappeared from too many big games to make the list. I thought about Dawkins, but he would replace Battier, who to me epitomizes what Duke basketball should be. One of my favorite college players ever.

[OneMadWarrior]

Also I hate Duke, but Bobby Hurley may be the best true pg in ACC history. Jay Williams was more of a scorer.

[Chili]

I hate Duke but Bobby Hurley is better than Jay Williams.

And Jay Billas needs to be on the list.

[THEGYMBAR]

Laettner
Walton
Maravich
Oscar Robertson
Ewing

Bobby Knight

[Hards Alumni]

I'll go with the other team I root for... Duke.

Jason Williams
Grant Hill
Shane Battier
Christian Laettner
Elton Brand

Coach K

welcome to the Black List.  Anything I read from you will now instantly be thought less of.

[MDMU04]

Go with my heart:

Jim Chones
Maurice Lucas
Larry McNeil
Dean Meminger
Dwayne Wade

Coach - Al

Uggh. His name is Dwyane.  Dwyane Wade.  Come on now, if he's in the all-time greats list he at least deserves to have his name spelled correctly.

[dwaderoy2004]

LSU:

Shaq
Pistol Pete

any 3 other dudes

[drewm88]

LSU:

Shaq
Pistol Pete
Dameon Mason

any 2 other dudes

Fixed this for you. Hard to believe you forgot such an obvious one.

[jmayer1]

I hate Duke but Bobby Hurley is better than Jay Williams.

And Jay Billas needs to be on the list.

There is no way Hurley was better than Williams.  A better pure pg but not nearly the college player.

[NavinRJohnson]

Laettner
Walton
Maravich
Oscar Robertson
Ewing

Bobby Knight

They're all supposed to come from the same school, but yeah, that team might do ok.

[mosarsour]

LSU:

Shaq
Pistol Pete

any 3 other dudes

You can't forget Chris Jackson (Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf) who was one of the most proilific scorers in college history.

[Sweenz]

Also for LSU Bob Pettit... one of the best players of all time

Averaged 32 points 17 rebounds his senior year

Went on to be a 12 time allstar and won the first MVP awarded in the NBA.

LSU might have one of the better teams...

Hard time matching up against those 4
Shaq
Pettit
Pistol Pete
Chris Jackson

and even if Dameon Mason is playing, that would be a tough team to beat with another alltime team

[MUfan12]

It's Indiana, It's Indiana

G- Thomas
G- Alford
F- Cheaney
F- May
C- Benson

Robert Montgomery Knight

[Wareagle]

You could throw in Stromile Swift and you'd have yourself a pretty good team.

[mosarsour]

LSU Tigers

C- Shaq
F- Pettit
F- Swift
G- Maravich
G- Jackson


Head coach- Dale Brown

[dwaderoy2004]

Just did some research on LSU greats.  I would put Durand "Rudy" Macklin as their fifth member. He averaged 17 and 10 over his career and was a 2 time first team all-american in 80 and 81:

C: Shaq
PF: Macklin
SF: Pettit
G: Maravich
G: Jackson

[NYWarrior]

I hate Duke, but I do remember Johnny Dawkins being a sweet PG...and wasn't Grant Hill a 3?  I would bump him down to SF and put Reddick in at 2.

Dawkins was a 2 in college......Amaker was the PG on those teams.

[NYWarrior]

Louisville:

G - Dr Dunkenstein
G - Milt Wagner
F - Wes Unseld
F - Junior Bridgeman
C - Pervis Ellison

Not bad.....

[jce]

LSU Tigers

C- Shaq
F- Pettit
F- Swift
G- Maravich
G- Jackson


Head coach- Dale Brown

You just doomed that team with Dale Brown coaching.

[jce]

It's Indiana, It's Indiana

G- Thomas
G- Alford
F- Cheaney
F- May
C- Benson

Robert Montgomery Knight

If Robert Montgomery Knight is coaching, he would want Quinn Buckner starting in his backcourt.

[mosarsour]

You just doomed that team with Dale Brown coaching.

Who else would you have coaching them? Brown was there for over 25 years and has the most wins of any other LSU head coach. I'm well aware of Coach Brown history with the NCAA and the Lester Earl debacle. Regardless, he's still the best they had.

[Mayor McCheese]

Indiana St

Larry Bird
4 other guys to pass him the ball

Coach: A guy who draws up plays for Larry Bird


Thats all... welcome to the final four Indiana St.

[NYWarrior]

Houston's all-time team is  tough to beat -- for starters, 3 of the NBA's 50 greatest from a few yrs back:

C - Akeem
F - Elvin Hayes
F - Clyde Drexler
G - Otis Byrdsong
G - Rob Williams (a first round pick himself by the Nuggets...a prolific collegiate scorer felled by drugs at the next level)

quite a group

[🏀]

Western University Dolphins

C- Neon Bodeaux
F- Ricky Roe
F- Mel Arroyo
G- Tony Jackson
G- Butch McRae

Pete Bell

[jmayer1]

Kansas

Wilt
Lovellete
Manning
LaFrentz
Pierce

Coach:

Naismath
(Phog and Roy, honorable mention)

[NYWarrior]

Kansas

Wilt
Lovellete
Manning
LaFrentz
Pierce

Coach:

Naismath
(Phog and Roy, honorable mention)

A team with two centers, two forwards and a 2G/SF? 

Add JoJo White and lose LaFrentz 

[jmayer1]

I figured Lovellete could be the PF.  I think Raef is their all-time leading scorer so its tough to leave him off.  Mayabe Manning could play some point forward.  JoJo white definitely isn't a bad option, neither is Jacques Vaughn for that matter.

[Pago Warrior]

MU West Hall Ballers

C-Flavin
F-Durussell
F-Pago
G-Alzy
G-that dude Russ on our floor who had quicks and a great handle

Coach - Maiarino, Assisted by Dinker and Rat

[Chili]

There is no way Hurley was better than Williams.  A better pure pg but not nearly the college player.

jay may have better numbers but the all time assist leader is who i want. bobby hurley is quite possibly the best team leader in the last 20 years on any team.

Coach: John Wooden...he coached there before UCLA.

not to get on your case chili but i'm not sure what you're smoking but i want some, bobby fing hurley is the best team leader of the past 20 years?  haha, good one; exaggerate much?

brady
manning
jordan
aikman
jeter
hurely

hmmm, sounds about right

for his career hurley averaged 1.7 more assists per game than willaims did while averaging 7 points and 1.5 rebound less, willaims also shot 43 points higher overall as well and had 30 more steals even though he played one year less, the only other thing hurley has over willaims is free throw shooting

do you think mark jackson is the 2nd best pg of all time since he has the 2nd most assists?

Done...I'll agree with you.

[lurch91]

Michigan State University
Steve Smith
Scott Skiles
Magic Johnson
Greg Kelser
Kevin Willis

Coach Tom Izzo

University of Michigan
Glenn Rice
Chris Weber
Rudy Tomjanovich
Juwan Howard
Rumeal Robinson

Coach Steve Fisher


Too bad Mateen Cleaves and Eric Snow went to the same college as Skiles, who while never taking his team to a Final Four, was an incredible college punk/player.

[jce]

University of Michigan
Glenn Rice
Chris Weber
Rudy Tomjanovich
Juwan Howard
Rumeal Robinson

Coach Steve Fisher

Fisher over Johnny Orr?  Orr did it without cheating.

[lurch91]

It's debateable, but Fisher had 1 National Championship team and two other Final Four teams.  Then again he was never named Coach of the Year like Orr.

And it's not like Fisher pulled a Kelvin Sampson or Eddie Sutton (or whoever on Sutton's staff was stuffing envelope's with money).

[Wareagle]

University of Michigan
Glenn Rice
Chris Weber
Rudy Tomjanovich
Juwan Howard
Rumeal Robinson

Coach Steve Fisher

If you add Ed Martin as a booster that team would be unstoppable.

How the hell is a shortstop on a team that spends more money then anyone else a better leader.

I honestly feel leaders in baseball are ridiculous.... especially on the Yankees, Jeter doesn't lead, he just plays baseball... or
Why doesn't Jeter become a leader and tell A-Rod to stop playing with Madonna's thong and get his head out of his behind and play in October.

The only leaders up there that I will give you above someone like Hurley(although there are others you didn't mention) are:

Brady
Manning
Jordan
...

But I think he was talking about College Basketball, and not all of sports.

[NavinRJohnson]

Boy I don't know. Jeter may not be the most talented SS in baseball right now, but if I were starting a team and had my pick for every position, he would probably be my guy at SS (though Jose Reyes would be tempting). Is that because he is a leader? Don't know, but he certainly does seem to possess a quality that most guys lack.

I think you demonstrated the difference in your own post. A-Rod is perhaps the most talented player in the game, yet when October rolls around, he seems to turn into Mike Lamb. When the lights get bright, Jeter seems to get better. Couldn't that be considered leadership?

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Indiana St

Larry Bird

Coach: A guy who draws up plays for Larry Bird


Thats all... welcome to the final four Indiana St.

And Larry +4 beat a De Paul team who at a #2 seed beat the #3 seed Marquette Warriors in the Sweet 16 and #1 UCLA in the Elite Eight.

Gary Garland
Clyde Bradshaw
Mark Aguirre
Curtis Watkins
James Mitchem

Ray Meyer (plus Joey)

They did beat Penn for third place when they still had a consolation game.

I grew up across the street from Depaul and loved them that year but have despised them since 1981.
