  • Basketball: small forward, 92

    Won three straight MVP awards with a jumper, a pass that arrived before the cut and an answer for every trash talk. Slow by the ratings and never caught out of position.

  • Baseball: catcher, 83

    Won three straight MVP awards by seeing the play before anyone else. A catcher who reads every hitter, frames every pitch and talks trash to the batter between them.
