IMHO, a true guage of a players greatness,in any sport,is how they're thought of and judged ,long after they've left us,when their careers are looked at,in retospect.Lassiters holds up well in all aspects.World champion in several disiplines,and a gentleman.A legend.Like Mosconi,Crane,Greenleaf etc.Maybe someday,todays great players will be thought of in the same way.It would be intersting to see them all compete ,all things being equal.I think todays GREAT players would hold their own.Great talent is great talent .
