The greatest hockey player ever; just as the modern age of endless SportsCenter highlights and incestuous marketing/TV deals has made for this "Jordan is the greatest" hype (at the expense of more revolutionary players like Connie Hawkins and Julius Erving), Orr has had to unfairly exist in the shadow of Wayne Gretzky. He was All That (and a defenseman to boot) before Gretz even learned how to spell. Now a player agent, just like his *cough* mentor Alan Eagleson.
