Quote:Its been the past 6 years that Knott has dominated this region not 2. 5 titles in six years is total domination.
If what you say is true,why did Ben not finish in the top 20 all time scoring in Ky, not go to 4 straight state tournaments, not win Mr. Basketball(write it down it will happen), and last but not least..... Sign with a major conference(SEC).
I have said for years that Ben had the most talent of any player ever in the 14th region and had the potential to play at the highest level. I won't ever argue that , but I will argue that no one is a better basketball player than Cameron. For one Ben transferred to Florida and didn't play his Junior or senior year @ PCC if I'm not mistaken(I could be wrong but I know I'm close). Two, a player is measured by numbers/accomplishments/character. Cameron has scored more points in his career than Ben, won more titles than Ben, won more games, and after tomorrow night will be Mr. Basketball. Now lets hear your argument as to why Ben was a better 14th region basketball player than Cameron? A lot of things go into the best ever conversation, not just potential.
My argument was for the best to play in the 14th not could haves would haves or should haves!

I've seen them both play and I will tell you that you could compare them over and over again and you won't get the Knott County fans admitting that Ben is better or the Perry fans saying that Cam is better.

However - I think your argument doesn't hold too much water comparing numbers and Sweet 16 appearances when Ben wasn't in Kentucky enough for that to be a possibility.

If you want to say that Cam is better you have a valid argument, but it's not a fact. It's an opinion.

Your statement "a player is measured by numbers/accomplishments/character" is also a little out there. That may be how you determine who is better, but we're being subjective here. In my opinion, character goes a long way, but it's got nothing to do with how good of a basketball player you are. Ben had his issues that kept him from being what he could be, but I can tell you that his accomplishments are just as impressive regardless.

Ben was enrolled at Oak Hill and was ready to play for them at one point, but it didn't pan out (for non-basketball related reasons). He then went to Westminster in Florida and averaged 20pts/7rbs/6ast a game for a top 20 team in the nation.

Ben didn't play ball around here for two years... and that knocks him out of being your best 14th Region player of all-time? Ben at least played around here his whole life. Camron was from Pike County and only transferred into the 14th (twice).

Like I said - you have an argument - but you're overlooking a lot of things.
