I’m a Celtics fan, my team
Centenary
San Francisco
Indiana St.
Ohio St.
Holy Cross
Spurs:
Navy
Wake Forest
Eastern Michigan
Auburn
Paris Badket Racing (I guess)
Did Gervin go to Auburn or EMU?
EMU
Assume Person is a Tiger.
As in he played for Auburn Tigers? Yep. 74-78
Wizards/Bullets:
Louisville
Houston
Arizona
Winston-Salem State
Boise State/Idaho
And it must be mentioned:
North Carolina
Wow! Chuck Person is way older than I thought!!
Assume you can ID my starting 5?
DC-The only 2 I figured out were:
Griffith
Hayes
And Jordan obviously.
Wait! Which one’s Unseld?
All but one played in Baltimore:
Unseld
Hayes
Arenas - run out of town in disgrace, but unquestionably the centerpiece of the mid-00s playoff teams
Earl Monroe
I went with Gus Johnson for the fifth; waaayyy before my time, but he’s one of just four retired jerseys for the franchise (the other three are Unseld, Hayes, and Monroe).
Considered Moses Malone and Walt Bellamy, but they were only in town for 2 seasons apiece.
For you, evt78:
Parrish
Russell
Bird
Havlicek
Cousy
Temple University
Temple University
Temple University
Temple University
Temple University
Wait a minute… That didn’t work AT ALL.
Yup DC. I’m 36 BTW.
Houston:
5: Houston
4: Houston
3: Michigan
2: -none-
1: Niagara
Houston could start at the 2, if you think he spent enough time with the team. In that case, I would move -none- to the 3. Centers -none- and -none- would start for many a team’s all-time roster.
It’s pretty interesting – it’s possible that both -none- and -none- would miss out on the starting lineup for all the teams each played for, despite each being a top 10 center all-time. -none- was behind Houston, obviously, in Houston’s lineup, and then you’ve got Kansas in Philly and Georgetown in Atlanta, and he only played a little bit here and there for other teams.
And then obviously -none- doesn’t make it in Houston and almost certainly will never get to that level, and he’d be behind LSU (at the very least) for both of his other teams.
Atlanta Hawks:
Georgia
Minnesota
Georgetown
Florida
LSU
Honorable Mentions
Arkansas
Oklahoma
The Spurs are already taken, so I’ll do my second favorite team: the Knicks
Grambling (most people would say Georgetown, and the stats are on their side… but emotion leads me to go with Grambling)
Tennessee
University of Detroit
Southern Illinois
Winston-Salem State
Kansas
Massachusetts
Auburn
West Texas A&M (had to look that up)
Georgetown
Utah Jazz:
UCLA
Louisiana Tech
Notre Dame
LSU
Gonzaga
Outside of the two HoFers, it’s a pretty sad list: guys who were good but not that good, played significant stretches of their careers with other teams, or both.
