Ruled the court. Baller

One of my all time favs. Great forward who could also shoot from outside.

Slay and Lofton are TN's only SEC POY's in the last 30 years.

Loved watching him play!!! Always think about the headband when think about him.

The Jauan Jennings of the hardwood. That guy brought passion and intensity every night. Will never forget the night he "slayed" the Gators at TBA.

I guess technically, Tony White falls at the very end of that 30 year spectrum (won it in 86-87).

Hard to believe that our all-time leading scorer and top-5ish player in school history never won SEC POY. Playing on some lousy teams didn't help his cause I guess.

 

[CAVPUT]

Yep. A joy to watch. Seems a lifetime ago.

One of most underrated Vols of all-time IMO.

He can thank his dad for that.

Most definitely.

I wondered why somebody would bring something like that into a "legend" thread.

 

[Roustabout]

Loves this guy. He had some sick post up moves.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I wish we had an intimidation player like him. A guy who when he tries to throw down you think could break the backboard. Last one was maymon pre-injury if I remember correctly.

Tall fat guys can break backboards.

Lol true. I'd like to have a guy like the one from miss st, can't remember his name. Woodson was one, but wasn't here lone enough, and was just a bother to the team
