Today, the New York Post went through each number, 0-99, and attempted to decide who the best New York athlete was for each number. It's a cool concept, and while I think the list is flawed one decision, in particular, was the real headscratcher for me.
Dave DeBusschere was chosen to represent number 22. DeBusschere is a hall of farmer, a two-time NBA Champion, and an eight-time all-star. There's no denying that DeBusschere was a great player and an important piece to the New York Knicks who won two NBA Finals him on the roster.
These rankings are purely subjective, which is very difficult to do, but if you look at Bleacher Reports rankings of the top-100 NBA players of all-time vs the Top-50 NHL players of all-time you'll see a few varying things when it comes to Bossy vs DeBusschere.
