It's crazy that Billy Owens left Syracuse 24 years ago, isn't it? A transcendent player who you could pick up and drop in any era of basketball and he would be great. But this version of Syracuse basketball seems tailor-made for him.
Legacy is often considered and confused as singular. Almost no one gets out of life leaving just one rippling effect. One person's hero can be the devil incarnate to someone else. For all the fans and supporters, there will be about the same amount of haters and nonbelievers. Someone can accomplish the great but be remembered for something different and otherwise benign.
