There was the world's most obnoxious fan (I think he was a Detroit Piston fan)whose mission in life was to piss off opposing players. When asked if there was one player he left alone. He said "Larry Bird. Make him mad and he will score 60 pts. against you". Nuff said.
He retired before I was born, but given my hipster-like sports inclinations I'll go with Pistol Pete. His scoring average must have been the most impressive for a non big man and died on the court literally.

While we are at it widen the hash marks on the football field,, will make the game more interesting and field goals will no longer be automatic 3 points.
