Chris Webber

After a storied college career with the University of Michigan, where he was a key member of the famed “Fab Five,” Chris Webber was selected first overall in the 1993 NBA Draft. Webber’s NBA career spanned 15 seasons, with stints at the Warriors, Bullets/Wizards, Kings, 76ers, and Pistons.

His most successful tenure was with the Kings, where he was a central figure in the team’s playoff runs in the early 2000s. He was a five-time NBA All-Star and won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 1994.

In his prime, Webber was one of the league’s most potent offensive players, with a diverse skill set that included scoring, rebounding, and passing. In 2021, he was elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

The 6’11” power forward/center was drafted 13th overall by the Pacers in the 1991 NBA Draft out of Clemson, where he had been ACC Player of the Year.

Davis made an immediate impact with the Pacers, with his rebounding and shot-blocking playing a significant role in their success during the decade, including a run to the NBA Finals in 2000. Davis earned his only All-Star selection that season.

Primarily known as a journeyman point guard and a valuable role player, Smith’s quickness and ability to distribute the ball have been his standout attributes.

Over his NBA career, Smith has played for an incredible 13 different teams, including the Grizzlies, Warriors, Magic, 76ers, Pistons, Wizards, Hornets and Pistons (and that’s barely over half!).

Bob Sura

Bob Sura’s basketball journey began at Florida State, where he had a successful college career and became one of the standout players for the Seminoles. Recognizing his talent and potential, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him 17th overall in the 1995 NBA Draft.

During his NBA tenure, Sura played for several teams, including the Cavaliers, Warriors, Pistons, Hawks, and Rockets. Throughout his career, Sura was known for his competitive spirit and ability to impact the game in various ways, from scoring bursts to crucial defensive plays.

During his time with the Atlanta Hawks, he nearly achieved three consecutive triple-doubles, a rare feat in the NBA. The third game, however, stirred controversy as Sura intentionally missed a shot to grab his tenth rebound, which led the NBA to disallow the triple-double.
