Hopefully participation does not plummet now that almost the last of the golden era guys has been taken.

Going with Lionel Simmons here, as a thanks for VF21's JWill vote last round. Never saw him play though.

Gotta keep my promise - L-Train gets the well-deserved nod.

Perhaps the most forgotten duo of the 90s due to injuries (Lionel Simmons) and the lack of a supporting cast (Mitch Richmond). Not only do both score effectively during this game (Simmons was 11 from 15, Richmond - 11/21, 3 from 5 from downtown) but they also find team-mates for good looks at the basket as both have 6 assists apiece.

Things to look for:

Mitch Richmond's use of upper-body strength to create good mid-range looks;
Lionel Simmons's smooth touch from mid-range;
The PA sounds of the Arco Arena. I particularly liked the train sound effect after Lionel "L-Train" Simmons's fast-break dunk.

March 8, 1992.

Simmons wears #22.

C'mon L-Train was not better than Ron Artest.

C'mon L-Train was not better than Ron Artest.

He was a greater Sacramento King.

 

[John Galt]

looks like the next round gets really interesting

 

[Bricklayer]

A man too nice/boring to provide even one notorious pic. I suppose if he'd come around during the social media age we'd at least have a pic of his famous Ninetnedo thumb.
