This discussion clearly proves that there needs to be a 12 man All-time team, like we did for Aggie Football.

ball1time - until a former Aggie player surpasses the deeds
of Al Attles in the NBA - he is the best. He was a long time
player, NBA Championship Coach and Manager. I don't recall
any other Aggie playing in the NBA or ABA with any longevity
or distinction.

I don't recall any other Aggie playing in the NBA or ABA with any longevity or distinction. We are talking about college, not the NBA. You have a lot of college player that were great in college but not so great in the Pros. Al Attles was not a great college player a good player yes but not a great player! What set Al Attles a part was his ability to play shut down Defense on players of any size. So you can not say he was the greatest because he was not that great of a Scorer. I can not think of any player that we have had that was both great on both the Defensive and Offensive side of the ball. Maybe the only one that comes to mind !June Harris was Selected by the Seattle Supersonics in the fourth round (56th pick overall) of 1973 NBA Draft. He played both end fairly well. |

Saabman, I know he is talking about college players. I don't know why
you got to stick your nose in everything on BDV. I was responding to
him and not you. Stay out of this Car as you said in another post.
Besides, we have discussed this topic to no end in the past. No
matter who we put down as the best 12 players or 20 or 10 we
are not going to agree.
I merely stated Al Attles because of his accomplishments. He
made it to the Big Show and succeeded. It may have been
guys from "T" who could score and out jump him but he had
something they didn't. The NBA saw it and that is why he
was up there so long. No other Aggie did it.
I can tell you did not major in English at "T". Read most of
your sentences and correct the mistakes.

Saab, I knew the point from the beginning. I just
put a different twist to it so you would respond.
You think you know everything and it is clear
that you don't. You don't even think most of the
time about what you are saying. That is clear
by your responses.
Go take you some English courses and learn how
to write a complete sentence without screwing it up!

Back to the topic... I still believe that A&T's best-ever backcourt was June Harris and Al Carter. Attachments:

June Harris was the best pure PG to ever play at A&T and in the MEAC.

So I am happy to see this blog. I am watching NCaa games and thought about my youth. My aunt, Joyce Spruill, who was one of the great female atheletes and coaches at A&T gave me the oppurtunity to be around the best players of the late 70's and 80's as an aggie ball boy. The ambiance of those games have never been matched since. Joe Binion who I admired as a young chap, was one of the smoothest players and unstoppable scorers I have ever seen play. In MEAC play, no one could match him. His game was one that being a 6 8 player who could bring the ball up,, face the basket and drive or shoot jumper at will. He was a low dribble so he was able to keep great control of the ball. Other greats,, Claude Williams. Favorite move, going to the hole in the paint and going between his legs for finger role. Ice Grifftths, fave move.. Aggies had a 3 on two break, Ice in the middle,, He ball fakes to the left , and then to the right,, and both defensive players go for the fake and Ice finger rolls it for the score unabated. Eric sleepy Boyd , raining jumpers from the 3point line area.. He played calmly and smooth all the time. George Cale.. Rainbow jumper from the cafe. We he was hot,, unconscious on the court.. Tough downtown Jimmy Brown,, mid range jumper was always money,, Juan Lanaza,, banging big time in the paint, always making clutch put backs or dunks to get the crowd going crazy... I will need an hour to talk about the aggietes basketball team. However, nothing was like an 80's battle with Howard , Famu or SCSU, the girls games were unreal. To be continued

Yeah man you said it all with that; my favorite was when Joe would bring it down court as the point guard. Man that was some good basketball then; that team won 4 straight MEAC titles.
