By the way, for the Wings...Steve Yzerman of course, but what about Bob Probert?

CR, you're a hockey guy ... how can you name Probie over Gordie Fucking Howe as someone you think of when you think of the Wings? I'd even put Howe above Yzerman, although, it might be that I'm blinded by the fact that Stevie Y is still active (for now).

As I just watched the Gordie Howe Sportscentury a few weeks ago, I'm not sure how I forgot Mr. Hockey. Must've just been focusing on the Yzerman years.

Portland Trailblazers - Its not one particular guy, but the Rip City team with Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams, Kevin Duckworth and Cliff Robinson will forever be "The Blazers" to me.

 

New York Yankees - Joe Torre. It was a tight one between Torre and Mattingly - I came up with Mattingly, but Torre's face scrunched up, looking mildly disgusted no matter the circumstance is an indelible image in my mind. A preloaded fuck you to all the "WHAT ABOUT MANTLE AND RUTH AND GEHRIG OMG!!!!11!1!one!1" this is one player (or coach) that *I* associate with a team.

 

University of Oregon football - Joey Harrington... with Igor Olshansky's biceps a close second

 

U of O basketball - The Lukes - Jackson and Ridnour

 

Miami Dolphins - #13
