Interesting statistic about the 3 point line. "He would have averaged 13 three pointers per game and 57 points per game."
Wow!

I can't remember a recent one. The kick blocks in recent games seemed to be on the blocking aspect. Your post underlines a great point of how important and underappreciated the long snapper is also

I can’t remember the last time I saw a bad snap on punts or XP/FG . Special teams are often overlooked for their importance UNTIL you have to call their names for a mistake.

Ssssshhhh. Don’t tell Walt. He considers Pistol Pete a sideshow and not a real NBA star.

Had there been a 3 point line he would have shot many more from outside bringing his average over 60 probably. He was amazing with the ball.

I would offer some unknown teacher, farmer or nurse who graduated from Daniel and positively impacted 1000s of people out of the limelight and for limited financial return

He graduated from Broughton HS in Raleigh.

Years old and went to basketball camp at South Carolina...yep..not joking...and he gave us a presentation...that is when I learned to take a ball with my right hand right off the dribble and flick it right past my defender's EAR to pass it to a guy in the lane....if you could do it quick.....thay absolutely can't get their hand there to block it. Annnd, Alex English was at that camp too. We all kept hearing about this kid from Dreher HS that was go I ng to South Carolina and they thought he would be pretty good. I also sat right beside Kevin Joyce for about an hour watching other teams play in the Carolina coliseum waiting for my team to play. Just me and him Alan Cooper that I went to the camp with ...Pretty Cool. I cut a lot of yards to save up enough money to pay the 110.00 to go to the camp....

so as a Daniel alum myself, I'm going to have to go with Deandre "Nuk" Hopkins as greatest Daniel sports alum and Lindsey Graham as greatest non-sports alum.
