Boston Globe sportswriter Bob Ryan has a keen basketball mind. How keen, you ask? With great ease, Ryan can recall stunningly intimate details of players drafted in the second round of the 1972 NBA draft. And stunning doesn’t mean he knows how many rebounds the guy averaged over his career. We mean he knows that Russ Lee’s father was a motorcycle cop in Boston, and that Isaac “Bud” Stallworth played the trumpet.

Just as the Giants are the champions of the NFL and Novak Djokovic is the number one tennis player in the world, so too is Bob Ryan the best in the field of NBA history. Respect, Bob. Props. Swag.
