I’m dying for basketball content, so thanks to Grantland and Chuck Klosterman for today’s post, "The "50 Greatest College Basketball Players of All Time."
Klosterman calls the list "purely subjective" and "totally infuriating," but it’s fun and rather specific.
Bucks head coach Scott Skiles, as I read from No. 50, was the first to pop up on the list, while a former Buck tops the list and several other local notables grace it.
A former Michigan State standout, Skiles landed at No. 43. Of course Klosterman digs up old college dirt on Skiles, who was a hard-nosed, tougher than nails guard. Read the details here.
Other local notables on the list? Marquette’s Butch Lee came in at No. 30, Bucks standout Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson is at No. 27, former Bucks guard Johnny Neumann made No. 17 and Bucks and NBA legend Lew Alcindor, not surprisingly, topped the list.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
