    It's also weird because Paul George plays for the Indiana Pacers but broke his leg over the summer.. He's out for the year before the season started and now his team isn't doing anything after being first in the conference last year.. That's more special than Pac imo.. Plus he's a black guy...

    The only Puerto Rican to ever have any real significant international play in soccer was German born Felix Magath:

    Quite a hard nosed player back in the day.

    Chris Armas would have been a good player but suffered a bad leg injury and did not reach the type of success he was capable of achieving.

    Sad that we don't see any pro wrestlers in that list. Back in the 1960s-80s it was the #3 sport behind boxing and baseball. PR produced some of the best wrestlers and shows of that era particularly under the directorship of Robert (Gorilla Monsoon) Morella. I believe that to this day Monsoon has not been put into the PR Sports Hall of Fame in Viejo San Juan and this remains a very serious omission.
