Please do not mention Werner Linde, Al Green in the same sentence and Michael Jordan.

I did not see Michael Jordan play LIVE.
I understand that he is the best EVER.
I am talking about players that I have SEEN

Sorry but I don't know who else you have seen so it is hard to comment.

I have seen MJ live. I win!

Eddie Palubinskas ????

Ken Cole Michael Ahmatt

I am from the sixties

Mike Danzas, Les Hody

etc. era

I've seen Jordan play, and met him after the game, so I WIN ;)

Aw well I can't win.

I played a bit with Smyth, Ahmatt, Marsland, etc.

Saw Lester Conner once...

When I played, ( a long time ago )

Most of the players told me that

Hakeem Olajuwon was best in the WORLD at THAT time

Yes, I recall , very well.

Don Shipway, first Five with South Adelaide ( with Ahmatt.Whitford.Davie.Clarke)
And, Ignitavius there were a few of them like Nagy.

you would have to say Michael Jordan when you look at top ten dunks top ten buzzer beaters top 3 points and anything else he is in them

When you think South Adelaide had
WHITFORD, Davie, Ahmatt,
Shipway, on the court at the same time!!!!!

Yeah, South Adelaide first five ,was South Australia's first five, and, south adelaide also won the best team in Australia of course,

Needless to say I did NOT get much time on the court !!!!

Who would be better then.

Lester Conner or Andrew Gaze ?!!!???

i saw denny crane at st clair last monday.....

I saw Denny Crane Monday Night.

AND, coached at St Clair, Saturday morning.

i think my son WILL be the best player I ever saw.

Lester had a cooler first name... Lester > Andrew... No brainer really... But, on the other hand Gaze trumps Conner... She's a toughie... The fact of the matter is he made it in the NBA with a name like Lester - must have been hard at times... Honorable Mention - Patrick Eddie... Also a member of the Magic Johnson All Star Barnstormers...

Can you compare Patrick Eddie to Ken Cole for me

I Saw VC, AI, Timmy duncan etc the 2000 olympic usa team.....vs france....the weis dunk was crazy

WOW! That Weis dunk was/is the greatest EVER in basketball history. !!!! ??? !!!

Dean Whitford did not play in the Olympics.

As for best I ever saw, Magic Johnson wins (part of his Australian tour).

Best game I've ever seen someone play was John Rillie for Norwood in an ABL final at the Dome. He dominated like no-one before or since.

'64 Olympics we took 12 players
(Whitford was named first emergency,or 13th best player in Aust.) Seven south australians went.
S.A. beat the Olympic team here after they decided not to include werner linde etc.
Ken Cole was best that day.

mark bradtke

Brett Rainbow

Andrew Gaze

I saw Wayne McDaniel score 56 against the Sixers at Apollo - not that he's the greatest I've seen, it's just the most points I've seen in a game.

I met Dean Uthoff.

My wife met Gary Payton (back when he was good)...... Didn't know who he was. What a waste!

Huba Nagy

There were five Nagy brothers.

Four (4) on the court at the same time,and, one (1( on the bench

Sam Bowie

little bow wow, on LIKE MIKE =]

There were a total of 7 Nagy brothers and one sister.
As far as I know, only 4 brothers played together. The older two never played District as far as I know, but tne next 4 brothers, Geza, Csaba, Huba and Sittya all played together at one tme. A sister was the next oldest.
Boti was a lot younger and I'm pretty sure he never played District Ball.
And Huba was one heck of a player. 3 Woolacott medals at the same time Werner Linde was winning his 3.

Just wondering - what was Werner Linde`s nickname??? (If known)...

Nagy ( I THOUGHT Boti played,but there were so many I could be wrong).

Linde ( I saw him play many times,and , train a bit, only ever heard him called Werner. Although ' the doctor ' a few times .. He is a Dr of course)

Aw, yeah.

Saw the harlem globetrotters.
( Interesting !! ?? !! )

Michael Jordan or Vince Carter

Steve.

Or Cato.

Ray Davies was awesome

Jordan was the reason i started basketball

I know no one will ever be like him... but dont you think that he is the PERFECT player in evry way
"he has no faults"

And if ya ever go 2 the bradman museum they have an exibition called a perfect ten and its the 10 best sports peoples ever.

Yep, he was in there along with
NADIA cominenchi (dont no how to spell it)
PELE
etc.
:) oh and by the way

THIS IS IMPORTANT

...

:)Plz tell me!!!
thank you

by the way ---

i emt Luke Longley on a plane !!! wooo

although Jordan is still the best..

But lauren jackson has a talent and is the best women player

:):)

.

Julius Hodge

Best player, Magic, during his Aust tour, but Andrew's game v Russia (pre-Olympics) was the best (individual performance) I remember. 44 points and forced the game into OT, and he was the focus of the Russians' defence.

Amen Rob! And how was the shot from Gaze to put the game into OT! That Soviet team was insanely strong. I really wish I could could find footage from that game.

Ron NUNNELLY !!
THank you
