The Goat could do a "double dunk". He had a 50 inch vertical and could jump up and dunk it, grab it before it hit the ground and dunk it again, while never touching the ground. It's sad that he did drugs  |

I'm tired of the goat
I've read so many posts lately about his double dunk. Guess what? You don't get four points for it, you'll get a delay of game technical foul. I never saw him play but I would be willing to bet that he's just a tad overrated by a few people here.
About the top 5, I can't really say who the five biggest wastes of talent are of all time, but Jaron Rush needs to be an honorable mention. He was a top 5 highschool player, and he has amazing athleticism, but he decided alcohol was more fun than basketball, and now he struggles to make USBL teams. At the very least he could've been the next Harold Minor, but he could've been a lot more too.

Hank was a darned good college PF, but he was only 6'6 or 6'7 tops. He would hve struggled at the next level. Not to discredit his accomplishments, but a lot of guys could have put up huge #'s in the system Westhead used.

Ronnie was a great dunker, especially being 6'2. The guy was too short to make it as a SG in the league, accident or no accident. A jumpshot would have helped his chances. Trust me as I saw him play several times.

Roy Tarpley? He had a good start to his career in Dallas. I believe he was a legit 7 footer. Great athlete. Didn't he have substance abuse problems?

ALOT earlier.

That's a good one, Georgia Sports. Many have said that in his prime, Sabonis was the best player in the world, bar none. Too bad he didn't come to the states sooner. He did a nice job w/ the Blazers, especially considering his knees were shot. The guy was an incredible passer with a great jumpshot, also very strong.

Danny Manning
Danny Manning was a great college player who screwed up his knee several times. Never showed what he could do.
Also, Bernard King. He was great for the Knicks for a few years, unstoppable, but he screwed up his early career with the coke and then tore his MRI twice. He could of been a hall of famer.

Don't you mean ACL. MRI is like an X-ray.
