        ah, good call, Lucas...and Kermit Washington!....remember that Tomjonavich punch...shattered his whole face...Oakley was a tough SOB, but not top 10 for me...Shaq?

    He wasn't running, he was working on his cardio! But there are names on this list that would eat Ron-Ron for lunch.

    Who was it that straight punched out Rudy Tojonovich or whatever the former Rockets coach when the won their championships? Tree Rollins maybe?
