Really good start. Now we need a bruiser 4 player. Contrary to what Gerry says, you ain't gotta score 80 (neither Michigan nor Florida did in the title game), but you must rebound and defend the paint.

Some may say we need a “Punch”

That's true. I'll bet they had KD and Arch talk to Johnson.

That game was refereed *very* differently from the rest of the season.  It was rugby.  Look at those two teams’ scoring during the regular season.

Didn't score 80 on demand. Texas didn't score 80 to get the sweet 16 this year.

Is this an upgrade from Wilcher?

Not until they get another rotational guard. This is an upgrade from Jordan Pope. 

Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) is widely considered the greatest college basketball player of all time. 

This is what Matas needs to think about when he says Arvydas is his favorite player.

It’s a parody account, but still, where there smoke there’s fire…

Two greatest basketball players ever at age 22. 

Kobe Bryant (Age 22 - 2000-01 Season):

Accomplishments: Two-time NBA champion.

Performance: During the 2001 playoffs, a 22-year-old Kobe averaged 29.4 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 6.1 APG, forming the league's most dominant duo with Shaq.

Impact: He was already an elite two-way player and a premier scorer, often cited as having no holes in his game.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Age 22 - 1969-70 Season):

Accomplishments: Had just entered the league, meaning he had 0 championships at age 22.

Performance: Kareem (then Lew Alcindor) dominated instantly, averaging 28.8 points and 14.5 rebounds in his rookie season, showcasing the most unstoppable shot in history (skyhook).

Impact: He was arguably the best center in the league from day one, bringing a higher level of dominant individual efficiency than Kobe at that same age.

Yes, Phil Jackson stated that Kobe Bryant worked harder and was more obsessive in his training and preparation than Michael Jordan.

That skyhook was dang near as unstoppable shot as there’s ever been.

I'm thinking Kareem was the most unstoppable ever. Yes, in May 2001, Kobe Bryant was arguably playing at the level of the best player in the world,
