I was going through pics to get a new avatar and wondered who everyone's favorite player was/is...OU and non-OU (if you have one).

My favorite player is evident by the avatar - Ryan Minor. I remember trying to mimic his post moves/fadeaway in my driveway. To this day I still think he could have played well in the NBA if he would have went that route. He had the total package for a guy 6'7. I wonder if he regrets it? He's a minor league manage somewhere nowadays.

Favorite non-OU player was Grant Hill @ Duke. One of the first "next Jordan's". He was dynamic before injuries did him in.
 
Favorite OU Player: Eduardo Najera
Favorite Non-OU Player: Dante Swanson and Greg Harrington (TU)
 
Dante Swanson

One the best players I ever had to guard. Dude was quick as a cat and could shoot with the best of them. A lot stockier in person than on TV. He could dunk with ease as well.
 
Hollis Price and ... Will have to think about the other!
 
Eduardo Najera (Minor and Hollis are close seconds)

I like watching guards that can fill it up. Even though I was an OU fan first, I watched A LOT of Kentucky basketball back when they were coached by Pitino. Always like guys like Tony Delk, Mash, and even Pelphrey. Recently, I have to say watching Curry of Davidson. His run a couple of years ago was amazing.
 
1st post on here. I cant believe no one has picked Wayman yet. Wayman is my favorite. Alvin Adams is a close 2nd. Non-Sooner has to be Michael Jordan !

Charles "Spider" Smith - UNM's all-time leading scorer and a really nice kid when he was here.

I wasn't old enough to follow Wayman or Adams. Tough for me to have a favorite that I didn't get to watch growing up. Wayman was a great one though.
 
Favorite Sooner is Kevin Bookout

Favorite Non-Sooner: J.J. Redick. Yeah yeah yeah everyone hates him because he's a dukie and people have this engrained hatred for duke. Dude could flat out take over the game and his range began when he crossed half court.
 
Favorite Sooner: Nolan Johnson - the epitome of a Kelvin Sampson scorer.

Favorite non-Sooner: Steph Curry
