In his latest book, Dick Vitale's Fabulous 50 Players & Moments in College asketball: From the Best Seat in the House During My 30 Years at ESPN, Vitale, America's self-confessed number-one college basketball junkie goes on the record ranking his favorite players and moments from 1 to 50.
Dickie V's personal pantheon may surprise any fan. The legends are included, of course, but there are some unexpected rankings as well. Kansas guard Mario Chalmers' three-point shot to force overtime against Memphis in the 2008 national championship game. Michael Jordan's game-winning shot against Georgetown in 1982 during his freshman year at North Carolina. Every basketball fan has his or her favorite: the perfect player, the magical moments. Only Dick Vitale goes on the record, ranking them 1 through 50, as a fan and a commentator.
Vitale has been an integral part of ESPN since the network's early days in 1979. He has served as head coach on the scholastic, collegiate and professional levels, and was inducted as a member of the Class of 2008 in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame - the highest honor in the sport.
