Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Not only was he picked No. 1 ahead of J-Kidd and Grant-Hill-Drinks-Sprite, those early-‘00s Bucks teams with Big Dog, Cassell and Ray Allen were no joke, and probably got screwed out of a Finals appearance.
Sure, later on in his career he was softer than a free kick for Hawthorn, but in his early days, Big Dog was a bloody beast!
#ONYA Big Dog!
