i grew up on marty haws and andy toolson as my hoops heroes, but i love terrell lyday, michael vranes and travis hansen the most. A slasher than can dunk and play "d" is the best.

How could you forget Jared Miller!

I don't mean who you think was the best, but who you like/liked the most. Mine is Mekeli Wesley

I have a funny Mikeli Wesley story...we made the road trip down to Las Vegas to watch the UNLV football game one year. We parked at the Bellagio and as we were walking through the casino to get to the fountains we saw Wesley and a couple of his teammates. We saw Wesley toss a quarter in a slot, and HE WON. It wasn't the jackpot, but bells and sirens started clanging and lights flashing and coins falling, and THEY RAN. I've never seen anyone run that fast in my life. I don't think all that change he won adds up to a BYU scholarship. All of this simply begs the question--why play if you don't want to win???

Kresimir Cosic. Although I never got to see him play--he was a little before my time--he is still my favorite. I served my mission in a country where there were a lot of Balkin refugees. I spoke with so many people who either personally knew him or were influenced by him. From the stories I heard he seems like he was the Yugoslavian equivalent of Michael Jordan and Dan Jones all in one. I even met one man who had a Coratian copy of Book of Mormon that was personally given to him by Kesimir. He has my complete and total respect.

Oh man, are you kidding me? Where does one start? I mean there's Durrant and Ainge, Bobby Capener, Jeff Chatman, Brian Taylor, Marty Hawes, Andy Toolson, Gary Trost, Kenneth Roberts, Russell Larson, Brian Santiago, Nate Call...you get the picture. But my all time favorite was...
Mike Smith. That dude was AWESOME. He could do it all--dribble, pass, shoot from anywhere on the floor (he had the smoothest jumpshoot) and rebound. He averaged something like 26 ppg his sr year. I remember when they played New Mexico in '89, BYU went on an 18-0 run, and Smith scored all 18 points. That dude was so athletic that he turned down schollie offers to play QB and volleyball at other schools so that he could come to BYU to play bball (he was a star athlete in all three sports in high school). Could you imagine a 6'10" QB? I could go on and on and on, but I'll stop. If only BYU could get another guy like him in the future.
