Ian's Bio

I don't have much to say but my favorite quote is from the best color commentator in sports, the one and only Doug Collins.

Collins: "If you're gonna be a star, you better have toughness to go with your talent."-during the cavs-lakers game on MLK day January 19, 2009.

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!
