Aside from the really obvious ones who are the ones you feel people should not forget?

Lemon pepper Lou has to be one of those for me. When someone stops midway of robbing you because they recognize you're Lou William and they got too much love for you. You know you're different

Who can forget the French proto Luka, Antoine Rigadeau. OG Mavs fans should have some stories on him.

Brandon Roy. One of those stars that'll get lost in memory bc of his short career, but I'd take him any day over Booker/Mitchell/players of that caliber.

Boris Diaw. When I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven in the age of the romantics

Delonte West, alias Lebron's papa

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

I thought Gerald Wallace was a pretty cool player aka Crash

Keon Clark. Insane athlete, playing drunk, dragged the Raps to the playoffs once without Vince. 7'6" wingspan.
Eddie Griffin. Tragic story but insane talent. Kinda Sheed like with the shooting a rim protection.
Thaddeus Young. One of the most versatile dudes ever, but never got the chance to play for a good team.

Reggie Lewis - he is what Bridges would be if Bridges maxed out his potential. I think he's kinda forgotten outside Celtics circles and even Celtics don't really mention his as much as he should be. He was a great up & coming player that gave even MJ some issues due to his length, defensive IQ, agility.

Jimmy King - Ray Jackson and King are usually the forgotten ones, but King actually made it to the NBA (drafted by the Raptors). Didn't do much his NBA Career but he had big impact in basketball culture due to his time with the Fab Five.

My original love of an NBA player after MJ (because too many people had him as their favourite) Kevin Johnson.
Absolutely loved watching KJ play. His dunks were insane and just a true competitor. Like the one below on Olajuwon.



Or these beauties.

Cool Jimmy King story. I think he served me fries at my local McDonalds last week.

I feel like Mario Chalmers would have had essentially the same career as Derek Fisher if he didn't tear his achilles.

Bill Walton

remember that you players started playing for the love of the game

Utah Jazz version of Deron Williams was an absolutely spectacular player to watch. 20/10 when 20/10 was actually difficult to put up. Has a 17-8 record against CP3 throughout his career.

NO JHS, NO LUKA

Rasheed Wallace had top 20 all time potential and talent

Hedo Türkoğlu

sick **** name

Sam Cassell

I’ll remember him not for basketball reasons , his performance in Captain Phillips movie was excellent
