Best known for:
– Having an all-time GREAT nickname
– Having the all-time GREATEST NBA high-top fade
– Having one of the 30 all-time WORST assist per-game rates of anyone who played over 20 mpg for at least 400 NBA games
– Winning the dunk comp in 1989

– Beating Clyde Drexler — in his hometown of Hosuton, no less —in the final, and sinking The Glide to 0-5 all-time in dunk comps
– Killing the ‘chain and jersey’ look while wining said dunk comp

Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Even if he might seem like a bit of a bust — he was the No. 5 pick in ’86, ahead of Ron Harper, John Salley, Dennis Rodman, Dell Curry and Scott Skiles — that was because of injuries. The combo of his dunk comp win and that MAGNIFICENT high-top fade means he’ll live on forever in the annals of dead-set NBA ledges….
