It wasn't me who said that, but I think you are letting your allegiance to MD get to you there. Between Ewing and Bias, only one can put the following in his college C.V.: national championship, Final Four MOP, Naismith player of the year, AP player of the year, and 3x first team All-American.
I get you. I was giving Bias' hometown weight more than most would have (Ewing was a vagabond). It has nothing to do with me being a Maryland fan, though. Hell, I played with/against and was friends with more of that era's Hoyas than I was the Terps.
Fair enough. I thought the Terps' helmet in the avatar might suggest some allegiance there.
It was me,that said Ewing was first "by a mile." I applied the same criteria as I did to the "best DC pro athlete" discussion. I included team accomplishments, because even though I hate evaluating players that way, that's what makes guys special to a city and the fans there. Bias was amazing but during his time Maryland never won the ACC regular season with him, won the tournament only once (his freshman year), and never advanced past the Sweet 16. When Ewing was at Georgetown going to Final Fours and winning Big East and NCAA titles they were a huge deal in the city.
Good call, but let's not forget Anthony Allen. Anyone remember him?
That's a pretty specific category. Not sure anyone can be beat Timmy on that one.
RGIII is quickly getting into this territory as well
John Druce would be a candidate. He scored 14 goals in 15 playoff games one postseason. He made the SI cover, which said, "The Druce is Loose". He didn't totally drop off the map, though, following that postseason performance. He had a nice season the next year with 22 goals.
I suppose it depends on whether O's performances count during the Nats-less years, but Brady Anderson's completely clean, totally not at all suspicious, 50 homer season might also qualify.

it's not 3-6 anymore?
I'm farther South so we are expected to get a little higher.I've heard from 4-8 and 6-12 so who knows,I'll believe it when I see it(totals).
Sure looks like it to my untrained eye. Although it may just be that their best play of the season has coincided with the NBA All Star Break and the marquee games that I caught (Penguins games, Winter Classic, etc) so I've seen them at their best.
I have no idea, but I see they're the six seed right now and the Pens have a game in hand. Would love to know how 74 points/+30gd compares to past years through the same number of games. They change coaches and everyone talks about the improvement, but it hasn't actually seemed much different to me.Sure looks like it to my untrained eye.
