[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1624819, member: 517079"] I'm in the same camp re: guys prior to the Flyin' Illini. And even for those guys I was very young, so hard for me to differentiate too much. Can't really look at stats and get a full picture without having seen the guy in action. I like your list, would probably switch either Deon or Kofi for Brian Cook. He had a heck of a career and was a much better shooter than either of those guys, which would help in this hypothetical where they're all playing together. As to [USER=747870]@illiniu[/USER]'s question, I think it's a toss-up between the '89 and '05 teams -- take your pick. I'll go with '05 simply b/c I was older and could appreciate their brilliance more. That and the fact that their sole regular season loss was so surprising that it speaks to their overall dominance that year. [/QUOTE]
