Kary: I got to see Julius Erving play in 1981 in Dallas..Sixers vs. Mavericks game, place was about 2/3 full. We were sitting lower level in old Reunion Arena, on the corner, and the Mavs had the ball on the other end of the court. Aguire was trying to post up low on the block and dribbling down his man with his back to the hoop, and Dr. J picked his pocket and started dribbling towards us. I'll never forget how the whole arena started to stand in slow motion as Dr. J took off from the side of the lane closest to us, did a double-clutch, and slammed it home behind the back style and landed on the other side of the lane. The arena went nuts, and this was a MAVERICKS home game. Wonderful memory.
My list, in no particular order:
1. Babe Ruth
2. Ty Cobb
3. Walter Johnson
4. Bob Feller
5. Ted Williams
6. Randy Jones (my favorite Padres player of all time)
7. Not sure if entertainment is wanted in the OP question, but Nat King Cole, too, without a doubt....
