I was trying to figure out what the best All-NBA 1st Team was in NBA history and I think I landed on it.
The 1988 All-NBA 1st Team:
G: Magic Johnson
G: Michael Jordan
F: Larry Bird
F: Charles Barkley
C: Hakeem Olajuwon
Honorable mentions:
1967 Team
2013 Team

In 2021, MLB began having players wear specially made All-Star jerseys instead of their own jerseys.
I don’t know one person that likes this change.

Hank Greenberg essentially missed 5 full MLB seasons to serve in WWII (aged 30-34 seasons).
If not for the war, Hank probably approaches 550 home run and
1,900 RBI territory.
Hank was the first MLB player to join the armed forces and served longer than any other MLB player.

Unless I am asleep at the wheel right now, 1998 Maddux-Glavine-Smoltz has to be the greatest 1–2-3 in MLB history, right?
My favorite was 2003 Hudson-Zito-Mulder, but they are not close to the best.
There is 1966 Koufax-Sutton-Drysdale.
Or 1954 Wynn-Lemon-Feller.
