Arguably? ARGUABLY? Oh Lord
 
I remember the '89 squad very well--that was subjectively the best team in program history. And you are incorrect, the '89 team did NOT have Michael Edwards or Stevie Thompson playing point guard--they had the best lead guard in program history, Sherman Douglas, running the show. The team you refer to was the '90 squad. And there is no  way--I repeat, no  way whatsoever--that Stevie Thompson would have been the fifth guard on this past team's rotation. To think otherwise is fantasy land talk, and demonstrates the lack of perspective that I attributed to you in an earlier post.
 
The "generation remembering thing" you attribute to me works in reverse, BTW, with people who don't have a grasp of program history and lack the basis to compare contemporary players to those from the past. Your assessment of me remembering stars and forgetting warts is bunk. I can only assume that you either: (a) didn't watch those teams / players, (b) were too young to remember those teams / players, or (3) don't have a clue what you are talking about if your assessment is that I am over-estimating the talent level of those guys. Given recent posts, I'd say that any of the above is equally plausible.
 
Quit while you're ahead.
 
And BTW, I never said that Washington played with DC. Anyone knowledgeable about team history knows that. But if you don't think that Pearl...or Sherman...or DC...or Billy...wouldn't have been the top players on any of the teams from the past three years--which you have defined as your self proclaimed "golden era" -- you are talking crazy.
