What is your top 5 'true Cyclones' (mens BB)? Some guidelines:
- Doesn't have to be the most talented players you've seen
- They should stand out as 'yeah, i loved that guy'
- They gave more than they received (this is intentionally vague, but you should get a feel when really thinking who meant the most to you as a Cyclones MBB player).
My picks (only goes back to when i remember guys - so don't crucify me for leaving out Hercle Ivy. Though i should pick him for that kicka$$ name!)
1. Freddy. Local boy, class act. Uh, he's the Mayor for a reason
2. Barry Stevens. Single handedly created Hilton Magic. When you get the reaction to your passing from the Cyclone family like he's recieved over the last 8 months, it says something.
3. Rahshon Clark. I want to adopt this kid. Loyalty amid controversy when everyone else left. The most grounded of his class and leader during this transition era....takes a big man with a big, big heart.
4. Jacy Holloway. I know, this one's out of left field, but he bridged two coaching generations and just felt like the glue that kept us together....
5. Stevie Johnson. This one's out of left-center....but i LOVED his motor and quiet strength. Certainly wasn't the most talented among that phenomenal team....but a 6'6" power forward rebounder? Best role player i've seen over my active 25 years of Cycloneness. Oh, and he used his last shred of eligibility to play Football. Yeah, you're nodding your head a little more vigorously now aren't you!
