Title: [ESPN Milwaukee LOL] Marquette All Time Starting Five
Post by: brewcity77 on January 21, 2026, 03:30:21 PM
THIS is the radio partner of Marquette basketball? FFS. One of these is right. The others, no chance.

I would submit:

PG Butch Lee
SG Dwyane Wade (Hey they got one right)
SF George Thompson
PF Bo Ellis
C Jim Chones

After that, you can argue Jae with guys like Meminger, Lucas, Kojis, Howard, and others for sixth man or second team.

After seeing Butch Lee nearly taking down the USA Olympic team single handedly playing for Puerto Rico and being the leader of the NCAA Championship team, I think he deserves to be on there.  A backcourt of Wade and Lee would be unstoppable.

Farming the outrage, and it worked.  Sounds like they know their audience is older white dudes.

That would correct if white people could read and use a computer.

Jae and Jimmy being off is ridiculous.

Someone's going to come in and say Howard though.

I think one of the interesting things about George Thompson, Butch Lee and Jerome Whitehead is that all 3 entered college at 17 years old. 

George Thompson didn't turn 18 years old until November 29th of his freshman year at Marquette.  Butch Lee was still 2 days away from his 18th birthday when he played against St. John's (MN) as a 17 year old on December 3, 1974.  Whitehead turned 18 on September 30 of his freshman year at Riverside (CA) Community College.  3 of McGuire's most physical players finished their college careers as 21 year olds.

Jimmy doesn't belong. People vastly overrate him in the lores of MUBB

Wade is obvious

Jae at least has an argument to be on the team. Jimmy Mac seems like they just wanted to select the best/most renown player from the 90s.

Love Dom but seriously?

Markus & Kolek both have arguments to be on the team whether or not starting 5 is probably a no.

He's on the Marquette in the NBA Mount Rushmore, but his college career wasn't nearly as decorated as his pro career.
