@KiwiMurph Fa’afili? Surely Only for the try celebrations

The man could seriously leap for a cross field kick as well. Extra points for managing to pull off the corn rows look.

@ACT-Crusader yes true. that oop dunk is top 5 all-time for in-game dunks

Some of his alley-oop dunks are insane, but there’s a dunk he did off a baseline CP3 pass where DJ comes through the middle and took off from the dotted line.

Dude can jump. I just struggle a little with a guy who shoots 47% career FT %!

Zidane was unbelievable, but I can't forgive the headbutt. Such an extraordinary brainfade on the biggest stage at the worst time.

This would be closest to me, I'd swap Henry for John Barnes and Senna for Schumacher, but I can't quibble the others

Awesome choice

He was in originally, but like all NZ rugby fans, I wanted to put in one of our own ahead of an international player.
