    Ok, so here's what I wanna do. Post a video of your favorite sports stars, past or present. Any sport, college or professional. My submission . . . drum roll . . . Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon. Many people have forgotten how good this guy was. Many people never really knew cause he played in Houston. IMO, he's the greatest center to ever play. As evidence I submit this excellent highlight vid.

    2nd episode of SNL, 1975 (watched it on DVD last night) - Paul Simon vs an ex-Globetrotter. Paul wiped the court with the big guy.

    Lou Gehrig, the first person to ever be diagnosed with Steven Hawking's Disease. Spent the last remaining years of his life doing Gerald Ford impressions.

    Wayne Gretzky. He made records that I doubt anybody will touch for the next 100 years at least.
