I earned the reputation as being calm under pressure when as I freshman I led my school to the national title. I averaged just under 16 points and 8 boards per game for my scholastic career. I did earn second team All-American before graduating. From there I never lived up to expectations. In 11 seasons I grabbed over 3100 rebounds and scored almost 4500 points. In three different seasons I finished in the top ten of blocks per game. I earned the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award. Not quite what you would expect from the first pick in the draft.
Who am I?
Chas says
Pervis Ellison
Smitty says
Just to say someone else in hopes that Chas is wrong – Danny Manning
Muels says
Sorry Smitty- Danny Boy never won the NBA MIP- but Never Nervous Pervis did…
Smitty says
I know, I know.. But Pervis Ellison was already taken..
Casey says
Point to Chas.
Chas says
Sorry if I’m making this boring again. 😉
Casey says
Boring?!? No way!!! It would be boring if you didn’t set the pace. 🙂
crossword pete says
Chas is distancing himself from me. I don’t think I can recover unless we go to a 162 game season!
Muels says
Should I be happy just to be on the board?…
Rey says
Yes you should be Muels. I would kill to be on the board right now.
Casey says
Ah yes – the value of Who am I?
