My Take
Andrew Toney is the player who makes me lean forward. A sharp Philadelphia 76ers guard who won the 1983 title, he earned the nickname the Boston Strangler for tormenting the Celtics when it mattered most, and contemporaries like Larry Bird rated him a peer of Michael Jordan on offense, which is staggering praise. Injuries cut his prime short, and that is the tragedy that makes him a connoisseur's pick rather than a household name. I have a soft spot for athletes who burned brilliantly but briefly. Toney lives in memory more than the record books, and that is its own kind of greatness.
