More Nominees ... from Oklahoma

Some more nominees for my list of TRUE PRO ATHLETES ........

Jordan ..... had a few trips to Vegas ..... makes more money on shoes now than he did on BBall ..... no question he was great .... changed bball forever ...

Cousy, have seen him play quite a few times in the old Coliseum in Dayton.

Oscar Robinson, saw him play when he was at UC ...... did not stand out during the game ... when it was over ......... he had HOW MANY points? He never got the recognition in the pros that he deserved, he just did the job at hand, unceremoniously.

Brown, more well known for his roles in pictures. I have talked with younger folks who didn't know he played football....

Gretsky, definitely.

James Michner did an article years ago on this same subject, and Gretsky was at the top of his list.

A lot of baseball players did too much "playing" on the side to make my list.
