When describing the “only regret” of his career in a 2015 autobiography, which athlete wrote the following:
 

“Some days I feel more people remember me as the angry young man who pushed down a defenseless old man than as the [player] who wound up in the Hall of Fame.”

I'd consider myself somewhat of a campus legend: my number (34) is one of only 8 retired by my school and I'm one of only 7 players all-time to win my now-defunct conference's Player of the Year award in back-to-back seasons, joining Lon Kruger and Wayman Tisdale (among others). I won a bronze medal at the 1990 FIBA World Championships alongside Kenny Anderson, Alonzo Mourning, and Christian Laettner. My pro career didn't pan out as well, but I did lead the NBA with 4.6 personal fouls per game during the 92-93 season. Who am I?

With Dylan Harper going No. 2 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft to the Spurs, there are now two players of Filipino descent to be taken in the lottery, along with Jalen Green in 2021. However, in 2024 another Filipino heritage player just missed the lottery, as the 76ers took this Duke guard No. 16 overall. He won Rookie of the Month honors in November, and had a 34-point, 10-assist game against the Cavaliers, before a knee injury ended his season prematurely in December.
