Who is your favorite basketball Vol of all time

Easily Chris Lofton for me.


Other guys I liked a lot...

Wayne Chism
Jajuan Smith
Tyler Smith
Duke Crews
Vincent Yarbrough
Marcus Haislip
Tobias Harris
Dane Bradshaw

There are some odd choices, I know. Let's just say I liked them on the court.
 
Steven Pearl is up there but Chris Loften is my guy. I mean come on he lead the SEC if not the whole country in 3s and oh yea he had cancer the entire time!!

Solid, irrefutable choice. I really liked that era. Dale Ellis, Howard Wood, Michael Brooks, who was maybe as good a shooter as Lofton but who unfortunately played before the three-point shot. That was a really fun team.

Michael Brooks - Beyond NBA range!
 
Jimmy England with his thigh taped up with a football pad was the hero of my youth. He had a sweet stroke.
Ron Widby punting in the afternoon and hooping in the evening was impressive.
But Weezie was, without a doubt, my all time favorite. He was a true baller hiding behind the most lovable personality. He really came on after leaving the bench at Vandy his freshman year. How could you not love the guy for embracing that nickname?
 
Jerry Finestone.

Because without him we don't get Grunfeld, without whom we probably don't get Bernard King, without whom we probably don't get Reggie Johnson, and so on and so forth.

Seriously - Bernard King and Wayne Chism
 
For me, it was Charles Hathaway. . .
I was in middle school and and came to a UT game his freshmen year against Austin Peay. He had a big game and had a couple of blocks and big dunks. I was very impressed and became a fan of Tennessee Basketball from that point to now.
Two things that really hurt him was getting the blood clot in his arm and having Jerry Green as a coach. When you consider that he was a McDonald's All-American, his career was a little disapointing, but that doesn't bother me.
