For the experts here. Is Billy Gabor on Mt Rushmore of SU hoops?
I would assume yes. I know everything has changed since the time he played, but he had a very nice run.

Gabor appeared in an NBA All-Star game, which puts him in pretty exclusive company with Melo, DC and Bing. Were any other SU players an NBA All-Star?

Nope. That's it.

Billy was a key player who helped re-establish Syracuse as a basketball power after WWII. I jhad the opportunity to meet him before a game a couple of years ago. He was very nice and still sharp as a tack.

Condolences to his friends and family.
