RAFAEL NADAL wins ESPY for best MALE Tennis Player

Not quite.

I was a Chicago Bulls fan every year of my life until Michael Jordan joined the Charlotte Bobcats.

However, by coincidence the 90s Hornets were my 2nd favorite team (really because Larry Johnson was one of my favorite players).

Thanks.

Interesting, I never thought about the Jordan connection (Bulls-->Hornets).

I liked Baron when he was with the Hornets, those were his best years IMO. By the time he went to the Warriors and Clippers, he shot too many 3's, and wasn't the defensive player he used to be (used to be among the league leaders in steal, and was a physical body).

I liked seeing Baron and Mashburn together.

OT: I wish more players played in the AO in the 70s and 80s.

I really like what it's become, especially since Melbourne Park opened. No weather delays, a lot of matches in one day. Great night crowds.

I think the relatively good weather leads to higher quality tennis, in general. (Minus the heat).

Yeah I think Connors only played TWO Australian Opens (and won it once).
Connors probably would have won a bunch of them.
Nadal needs to win another AO in order to complete the Double Career Grand Slam.
Its become a big deal to me because of that more than anything

Yeah Davis and Mashburn were really entertaining.
Most of my favorite players were from the 90s.
These are my 10 favorite players ever:
Michael Jordan
Chris Mullin
Dennis Rodman
Charles Barkley
John Paxson
Larry Johnson
Scottie Pippen
Patrick Ewing
Al Jefferson
Lance Stephenson
