Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, scorer, stoner, trivia whiz (courtesy Chris W.).  I always liked Kareem because he was complicated and nobody could ever really break his shell.  He never felt like he owed the world warmth -- just excellence.  And that's all he ever gave us (outside of his Coors Lights spots a few years back, and several other nigh-profile blunders he's made over the years).

Randy Johnson, 40 year-old perfect game pitcher, hot piece of ass.  I guess after his latest masterpiece we can all concede that he picked the right career, but I still think about the "what coulda been": a 6'10" porno star named RANDY "BIG UNIT" JOHNSON.  You just can't top that.  Alas, the world will never know.
