Did he shoot it with his Rifleman rifle?Chuck was also the first player to shatter a backboard. That bit of trivia will win you a beer!
Also, I thought Michael Jordan was up for a cup of coffee but I must be mistaken (won't be the first or last time).
Re: Greatest of All Time?
I heard it was an official Red Ryder carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.

The Celtics could have used anyone who could shoot anything tonight. They were 4/42 from 3.

Re: Greatest of All Time?
The things I loved seeing when watching Emmitt Smith run the ball was his Toughness, Patience, Vision, Balance, & he was also Versatile. That's what I think of when you mention Emmitt Smith, cause he wasn't the fastest or strongest or the most elusive RB, he was just a natural pure RB that was good at what he did, but Emmitt Smith just can't take all that credit & glory alone, cause he did run behind the best OL in the NFL, plus Big Moose, the full back, clearing Smith out many paths too!

Re: Greatest of All Time?
Red called him the GOAT! No argument from me!
He was so much more than a basketball player.
