Easily gotta be Lebron James. Just ask him. Josh Booty is a hell of a guy. Greatest man I've ever known in fact. 1st team All SEC quarterback is what I've been told.

Wooden was a great teacher, apparently a great husband…but he knew about Sam Gilbert and let it happen. Not shitting on Wooden, but I think that kinda knocks him down a peg.

I’ll also nominate the late Dikeme Mutombo.

It’s a pretty cool story up there.

Guy made a great business then leveraged it into helping thousands of orphans.

Then Auburn tried to kill his son on the field. Those monsters.

Demario Davis is the dude that convinced Drew Brees to go woke and a lot of you hypocrites hate Drew Brees for it instead of Demario Davis

I happen to like both, but it’s interesting that Demario always gets a free pass and Drew doesn’t from the casuals in the Saints fanbase.

I have had the opportunity to meet a ton of pro athletes. One of the nicest, coolest dudes ever was a great man named Lou Brock.
