Who's the greatest player the world never got to know? Len Bias or Earl "the Goat" Manigault?

Question

Earl was famous for his street basketball abilities where he could double dunk (he would dunk it and catch it with the other hand while still in the air and dunk it again). He could also touch the top of the backboard to retrieve quarters and dollar bills. He was only 6'2" but the ankle weights he wore as a child helped him to build up tremendous jumping ability. He once reverse dunked 36 times in a row to win a $60 bet. It was rumored that Earl had a 52-inch vertical leap. But as to prove dunking wasn't the only thing he had going for him, he would practice hundreds of shots day after day, making him a deadly 3-point shooter as well.

Answer 1

The Goat just for the simple fact he was a street ball legend. Few people know of some of his accomplishments on the street circuit but the serious b-ball fan does. I don't believe he played organized b-ball so only a lucky handful of people were ever able to see his greatness.

Len Bias was a very gifted player and it's no coincidence that his death corresponding with the decline of the Celtics for years. I truly believe he would have kept that organization afloat if he wouldn't of died tragically.
