Message: [QUOTE="jekelish, post: 1302144, member: 82"] Another reason GMac is a legend: outside of Pearl, who in Syracuse basketball history has ever been as beloved as Gerry McNamara? I know, I know, "popularity doesn't matter"...except it absolutely does when determining legends. Of course his field goal percentage was better than Gerry's. Pearl's game was driving and slashing. Gerry's was shooting long jumpers. One was a 6-3, physical guard who was tremendous at getting into the paint. The other was a 5-10 kid who was basically Little Mac from Mike Tyson: Punchout. Throwing haymakers FAR above his weight class and still coming out on top more often than not. [/QUOTE]
