[Fishhead]

Very hard for many "great" franchises to be associated with just "ONE" individual.

So throw out the RED SOX, YANKS, BRUINS, BEARS, PACKERS, CELTICS, ETC., ETC.

My top two.........

JORDAN ----BULLS
GRETZKY---OILERS

Look at the Celtics, one could name any of the following..........


1. RED
2. BIRD
3. RUSSELL
4. COUSY

Bo and Woody, UofM and OSU.
