MITCH RICHMOND: HONEST EYES
"The Rock" was drafted #5 by the Warriors in the strangely soggy white bread 1988 draft.
Worked at a video rental shop while in school for a bit while at K State. (Good Visual)
Rookie of the year 1989, All-Star MVP 1994-1995 tho never a household name = his brother was his agent.
Good Slasher/Movement. Super Soft Accurate Jumper got you everywhere in that era.
First Kings star. Thank god for the tech explosion in San Jose, Oracle and Netscape kept the Kings accounting liquidity in the black by buying blocks of tickets for years as limp gifts to employees.
36th all-time scorer with one of the highest FG% of the modern era while getting double teamed for 7 years deserves respect.
Always played hurt, always played hard. Banger.
Lets not talk about that Laker piggyback champion ring thing too much, he paid for it emotionally in those early round playoff exits.
Scouts for the Warriors now which is like selling fur coats in Sri Lanka, born to suffer I guess. Love you Mitch.
