Who am I?

December 10, 2008 by Paul Gotham 9 Comments

50,000 – that is a nice round number to stop at.  After being selected twice as first-team All-American and once as AP player-of-the-year, I proved worthy of being the first overall pick in the draft.  My spot in Springfield was guaranteed after 16 seasons with three organizations.  I played in twelve consecutive all-star games.  At one time or another I led the league in each of the following categories: field goals made, defensive rebounds, offensive rebounds, total rebounds, rebounds per game, points, and points per game.  I rank in the top ten all-time for minutes played, points, rebounds, and field goals.  I played in three finals – winning one.

    The 50,000 (minutes). The three organizations threw me off because he played for a couple of teams that changed locales.
