1. Bo Jackson- the man, the myth, the legend, the reason i root for Auburn and still have a soft spot in my heart for the Royals and Raiders. greatest athlete of all time. career cut short is a perfect example of why it sucks to be me as a sports fan. no matter how awesome the team or player you root for is, you know it's all gonna end in tears.
2. Dale Murphy- the only good player on the Braves during the 80s. my first real sports hero. won 2 mvps and was one of the best players of the 80s, but will never see the hall of fame because he never hit 500 homeruns or won any world series. and he didn't play in new york...which automatically gets you into the hall. a fucking shame.
3. Charles Barkley- greatest Auburn basketball player ever, not to mention one of the greatest players in NBA history, not to mention a funny motherfucker who sucks at golf and gambles all his money away. as much as i always hated Jordan, i equally loved Chuck.
4. John Smoltz- greatest Brave of all time....not named Hank Aaron. Glavine and Maddux may have more wins, but it's Smoltz that i always loved to watch pitch because he was such a badass.
5. Larry Bird- greatest white dude ever in the sport of basketball. i think that earns him a spot on my list. being as that i am a white dude who used to love basketball. not trying to be racial or anything, but it's hard not to root for a guy who looks kinda like your friends dad playing in the NBA and schooling motherfuckers.
