Another Ju-Co to Big School transfer. A 6'1 guard that was a 6x NBA All-Defensive 1st or 2nd team selection, a 1 time all-star, and a never champion. He ranks top 10 in the following categories: Steals, 3pters made. Has franchise records for 3pters taken, 3pters made, and steals. Known more for his D than his O, he also has a funny name.
Mookie Blaylock

Way to go, quickdraw! Have some TP's.

These photos rocked the college basketball world when they came out in the early 90's.  Some pretty obscure people here, so give me just 2 of the names of the 4 people in these photos:



After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

A mad bomber from outside, I played 13 seasons with 9 different teams.  Despite averaging over 4.5 3pt attempts a game for my career, I never shot over 35% in a season.  I also may be best remembered for fighting a fan in the stands several years before the Palace brawl.  Who am I?

I remember the story of it the 4 UNLV players right about the fixing games.

Correct - funny that people forget about his fan fight mainly cause it was just him and he was flat-out crazy from day 1.

Good luck with this one.

Over an 11 year NBA career he only averaged above 4ppg twice, and never got higher than 6. Despite 720 games played, he didn't start 30. He is also a 3 time NBA champion, and a 2 sport All-American in highschool.

This is now a 10 tommy point question. It's hard.

Another obscure one: 

In the mid-90s, this player was perhaps the most hyped high school player of all time (to that point).  Featured in a Sports Illustrated article at just 16 years old, this player became entangled in a web of college commitments, decommitments, challenged SAT scores, and assorted shenanigans before finally attending an SEC school for a single season at the age of 21.  Though he played several years overseas, he never took part in a single NBA game.  Who is he?

Correct, from left in the hot tub are Moses Scurry, Richard "the Fixer" Perry, Anderson Hunt and David Butler.

I've got no clue on yours either so we're even.  I only remember this guy because I remember getting that issue of SI and they were talking about him like he was the second coming or something.
