@Rhakim ya hurley was trash once he made it in the league so barea would’ve definitely been able to get some burn...I’m surprised to remember he was drafted 7th tho

:hhh:
It was the ever incompetent Sacramento Kings.

Especially back then.They drafted Hurley because of

his "leadership skills & winning pedigree".Hurley could

be the poster child for getting drafted based on tangib-

as a high schooler back then I could’ve confidently told the kings that dude would’ve been a bust in the NBA...granted part of my belief was grounded in hate lol

I can kinda see what they were attempting to do, but

it was stupid to actually do it.Hurley was a huge name

In college.Known as a winner.The Kings were the exact

opposite.I wonder who went after Hurley in that draft,

tho?:jbhmm:

Why do you hate Plastic Man so much?

cause when my pops took me to my first NBA game in the early 90s, we got there early and he took me court side. Players were there warming up, and my dad asked Stacey to give me a autograph since it was my first game, & he said “nah I’m busy”

:pacspit:

game wasn’t about to start..we were there super early but he still said no

IT says hi:yeshrug:
I.T. not 5'3, he's 5'9 and he got a 40, was brolic, and is skilled. As soon as the hip injuries took a lil athleticism away look where he's at now.

A 5'3 guy isn't playing in the NBA today.

How am i supposed to warm up for the game if every construction yard manager in the local area wants me interrupt things for an autograph cause its they kids"first game"? You dont think think one kid getting one leads to a stampede?

Thats on you, as a kid, u should know how to ask for an autograph when they first exit the tunnel onto the court.

To be fair Hurley "might" have been better if it wasn't for the car accident. I know he didn't do anything before the accident but it was only halfway through his rookie season or some shyt.

My point though is that NBA GM's have their career on the line, they KNEW they were drafting a midget with no athleticism, jumper, or scoring ability and still thought he could be a great player in their league. And he still lasted 4-5 seasons or something.
