Re: The 5 GOATs of GW basketball
This is not easy but I firmly believe Mike Brown is in the top 5 and I would consider Pat Tallent, the best shooter in GW history. I don't think you even consider guys who only had one or two big years. That would eliminate Yinka and Bob Tallent.

Re: The 5 GOATs of GW basketball
Interesting to note that both Red Auerbach (1940) and J. Dallas Shirley (1935) are both in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Shirley was an NBA ref and also officiated in the 1960 Summer Olympics.

Re: The 5 GOATs of GW basketball
Joe Holup - his numbers alone demand top 5 recognition
Walt Sczerbiak - Overlooked by many, but his pro career in Europe was transcendant and special
Mike Brown - Unmatched NBA career has to count for something
Shawnta Rogers - an especial talent at his size
Chris Monroe - hey, our all-time scorer

Re: The 5 GOATs of GW basketball
Dirkk has a place in my top 15 without question
Shawnta Yinka and Chris have to be locks, along with Holup. The only question... who is the 5th member of the top 5 all time??
Mike Brown sure has a good case. Yegor? Obviously if you are under 50, you tend to overlook pre 1990 GW players. Holup though is without doubt top 3. Shawnta Holup Yinka are 1-2-3 IMO
