I am a HUGE fan of the University of Arkansas. I played in the NBA from the time I was drafted until 1999 (with one year abroad in 97-98), then I did a world basketball tour of Poland, Italy, as well as playing with the Harlem Globetrotters, the ABA, the USBL, and the CBA. I came back for 4 games with the wolves, then went back on the road, playing briefly in Puerto Rico and the ABA, before recently trying to catch on with the NBA again.

I have a nickname reflective of my size.

Being such a young one is killing me for these obscure players. I only got to watch national TV games until a few years ago.

I'm a superstar and a sure hall of famer. I was a first overall draft pick.  Yet before basketball, my Primary focus was swimming, who am I?

Check the timing on that one, I was off by 5 seconds (the time it took my brain to differentiate between Stanley Roberts and O Miller.
Yup

I am the younger less famous of two brothers that starred at the same school and was drafted two years later than my more able bro. His lack luster NBA career helped me go in the second round, when he went in the top 10 of the first. We were both out of the league within three seasons, each. I now play in Japan and lead the league in scoring.
