I see Bama has just paid an unprecedented sum to retain their GM. Since “college” football is now a fully professional sport, I suppose this makes sense. Does NUFB have a GM? If not, why not?
Sorry but no. It was not a time of positionless BB. Both played basically the same role, both the leaders of their teams and there was only one ball. Pippen and Jordan (also both top 50 as I recall) but they had different roles and everyone knew who was THE guy and that is why it worked. Jordan would not have developed the same way if he was on the same team as Drexler
I hate this “one ball” argument when it comes to some of the greatest players that every lived. These players aren’t John Sharks or a big man that needs the ball dumped into to him to score and feed his ego. They both are complete players not just scorers. Clyde played with Hakeem in college and as you state Mike with Pip. Yes, they played different roles, but I am sure Mike and Clyde would have figured it out and as I mentioned, near impossible to defend for the other team. Great players figure it out, good players often don’t. Clyde likely being similar to the Pip role with more offense and less defense. Both Mike and Clyde could score, pass, rebound and defend. Clyde wasn’t the piranha that Mike was on defense but he was still better than most. Complete players that would adapt and utilize each other’s strengths to make the team better.
