Countdown 118: Top 10 Sixth Men in NBA History
H2H 148: Antonio Gates vs. Jason Witten – Who was Better?
With the evolution of the passing game in football, the tight end position has likewise undergone a revolution from primarily an extra blocker to a versatile pass-catching weapon. In particular, the 21st century NFL has not only seen all-world tight ends like Tony Gonzalez and Rob Gronkowski (arguably two of the best tight ends ever), but also dominant forces like Antonio Gates and Jason Witten – the former is the most prolific scorer in league history at the position, while the latter is the all-time iron man among tight ends and also once held the single-season tight ends receptions record. Both longtime legends announced their retirement in recent years and are most assuredly Hall of Famers, thus bringing up the debate:
Who was better – Antonio Gates or Jason Witten?

With the growing prevalence of shooting three-pointers in today’s NBA, stretch forwards are becoming an increasingly important part of any team, i.e. a forward who traditionally was positioned closer to the basket, but has a shooting range that extends to beyond the three-point line. Yet just a generation ago in the 2000s, such players were still somewhat of a rarity; two of the early prototypes of the modern stretch forward were Antawn Jamison and Rashard Lewis, prolific scoring forwards who could stroke the three-ball. Given their similar playing styles and perfectly overlapping careers, it is thus a natural question to ask:
Who was better – Antawn Jamison or Rashard Lewis?

For much of the 2000s, the Calgary Flames and the San Jose Sharks were perennial playoff contenders in the NHL’s Western Conference, with the Flames even making a surprise run to the Stanley Cup Finals. Though both teams were led by offensive stars such as Jarome Iginla (Calgary) and Joe Thornton (San Jose), each was also backstopped by an outstanding goalie in Miikka Kiprusoff and Evgeni Nabokov, respectively. The two European goalies were workhorses for much of the decade who often competed against each other, both in the NHL and on the international stage; throw in their overlapping careers and near parallel paths to stardom, and it is only a natural question to ask:
Who was better – Miikka Kiprusoff or Evgeni Nabokov?

First base in the 21st century MLB has traditionally been a premium power position manned by some of the game’s biggest sluggers (both literally and statistically), e.g. Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Howard, etc. In addition to these aforementioned MVP winners, Carlos Delgado and Mark Teixeira also stand out from the past two decades as consistently excellent, yet perhaps sometimes underrated big boppers at the first base position – in their respective primes, each was a near-lock to hit 30+ home runs and drive in 100+ runs per year. Moreover, both played the majority of their careers in the AL and finished up their playing days in the bright spotlight of New York – with similar career profiles, it is an interesting profile in comparison to make:

H2H 144: Matt Forte vs. Ahman Green – Who was Better?
As one of the greatest rivalries in sports, the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers have faced off as NFC North rivals more than 200 times dating back to 1921, with the latter holding a slight all-time lead in terms of won-loss record. Moreover, from Gale Sayers and Walter Payton to Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung, both franchises have a long tradition of standout running backs; in recent memory, two Pro Bowl running backs who donned the respective Bears and Packers uniforms during the 21st century were Matt Forte and Ahman Green – each was a consistent workhorse back in his prime with similar all-around versatility both running and catching the ball, thus making for an interesting comparison:
