Lol, intentionally waiting to read the thread after one month in the off season is pretty entertaining.
Some of you kids and your DWill hot takes are funny. LOVE DWill, arguably the best pure PG in Illini history.
Best player ever?
If we’re picking rec/playground teams and all time ILLINI are the pool, if you don’t pick Nick Anderson with your first pick you are plum crazy.
In fact, do you like only the hottest takes? Do you love only the spiciest debates?
I’ll take the entire 88-89 team with healthy KG, and beat whatever remaining Illini AllStar team you come up with in a 5 or 7 game series every time.
And that’s prolly Ayo, Deron, Frankie, Dee/Harper , and Kofi.
(I’ll maybe skip the 6th man/bench argument that most certainly follows and just get my popcorn to enjoy)
The 88-89 team was the best college bb team I’ve ever seen, not just the best Illini team ever. I’d put them and my $$$ against any CBB team before or since in a 7 game series.
They were absolutely insane when healthy and on.
They were the best in the country with injuries and off nights.
