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.

James O'Bannon

Answer to my Chris Mills to NY question:

Knicks — Traded Dontae' Jones, Walter McCarty, John Thomas, Scott Brooks to Celtics for Chris Mills, 2 second round picks (1998 #38-DeMarco Johnson) (2000 #39-Lavor Postel) on 1997-10-22

I have to hang my head in shame. I can't believe I forgot the trade that brought us Waltah!

I'm on the most basketball  covers in history. I have the name of my crew "Cru Thik" tattooed across my body 6 times.  I have an autobiography out. I'm the only player in history to average 22+ points per game in my first 12 seasons. Who am I?
