One of my favorite Kings from the modern era. Really solid role-player who didn't get much recognition. Think he would be a lot more valuable into today's league. He was basically a Danny Green clone who wasn't as strong on defense.

Don't go to basketball reference or cheat. Just dig deep into your noggin and think of who you can come up with.

I'll start with a two pack. Junior Harrington and Vincent Yarbrough. Amazingly the starting back court for the Carmelo/LeBron tanking Nuggets, aka the worst roster in NBA history.
I remember Yarbrough as the guy getting dunked on here.

I just came here to mention Kornel David, the only Hungarian player that played in the league.
Shoutout to the only Hungarian player who was drafted, Adam Hanga! 59th selection by the Spurs just ahead of Isaiah Thomas.

It's Dávid Kornél and Hanga Ádám. Their family name comes first.

Andreas Biedrins. One or two seasons looking like a decent C for GS, epic head to head game against Duncan as a sub, signs expensive contract, then couldnt not foul or hit a FT to save his life. Finally contributed to warriors dynasty in key trade to dump cap space so we could get Andre.

For whatever reason Uwe Blab and Yinka Dare are always connected in my mind. So there's another random one


Weird, me too.
