Alcindor, Walton, Laettner ... you fill in the blank with a fourth guy, probably Russell.
And yes, I hate Laettner as much as the next guy, but he made the Final 4 all four of his years, and won two titles, and was indeed involved in many classic tournament games. To deny his place would just be ... hating.
Not only that, but Laettner had maybe the most iconic made shot of anyone in history vs Kentucky in the Regional Final.
I'll go to my grave thinking it was a crime he wasn't ejected for stepping on that UK player, never should have been on the court to make that shot.
But then again, it's just that kind of controversy that makes Laettner an indelible part of March history.
