CASEY POWELL'S GREATEST OF ALL TIME
Who, or what, are the GOATs? The greatest of all time? Our guest editor — who is MLL’s career points leader, the only American to win NLL MVP, and the only person to win NCAA Division I player of the year honors at two different positions — is considered in the conversation himself, but you won’t fi nd him on any of his lists here. How humble.

GREATNESS IN CLEATS
For all these lists, these are people or things that impacted me directly or who I’ve seen or played with. These fi ve have all dominated. Paul and Gary changed the game; revolutionized it. They made kids do things differently. Mike did the same with his fl air and dominance. He was a four-time fi rst-team All-American and two-time Tewaaraton winner. Ryan also was a four-time All-American, the national player of the year at 'Cuse, two-time MLL MVP, a dominant indoor player and backyard lacrosse machine. John Grant has been unstoppable throughout his career. He’s got amazing stickwork, is a scoring machine and a champion. He's the best player anytime he’s on the fi eld.

MY TOUGHEST TAKES
Christian Cook at
Princeton had my number. He became a Secret Service agent, so I’m glad he was able to protect me from scoring goals. We’ve got a good guy in that business. He was a hound that never threw checks. He shut me down and held me to zero goals in my last collegiate game. I still have nightmares over him. Gagliardi, McCabe, Brodie and Petro are all great in their own ways.
