    *I combined back to back seasons so you can't do a search for his statline

    28 years old

    36.9 MPG (80 games)

    19.6 PPG (on 15.5 attempts)
    4.7 RPG
    6.0 APG
    1.85 SPG

    .491 FG%
    .415 3PT%
    .876 FT%

    In the first of the two seasons I averaged together, he played for a Western Conference team that won over 50 games.

    So there you go. Who is it, and how much would he make on the free agent market today?

    Gotta give a few more clues like what conference or a time period.

    Nope, not Ron Harper. I will come back with more clues after a while if necessary.

    im guessing you mean you averaged out those two seasons?? But that can be confusing if his stats weren't very similar those two years...


    He's either a SG or SF...or a possibly big PG, but i doubt it..

    How's the guy's defense? What's the turnover rate and FT attempts per minute?

    and are you comparing salaries now and then? They have increased dramatically...back then 3-5 mill was star money...now he'd get 10 at least...even jordan and dream only made 3-5 mill at the time, circa 1993..

    What era is this? Give us a range of 10 years? Or 20?

    Example:

    80'-00'

    or 90's..

    See? I didn't need to give you guys any more clues.

    [​IMG]

    I asked the question because I never realized he was that good. I only started watching basketball in '92, and by the time he was with the Jazz, where he was a distant "3rd best player". It's crazy to me that his numbers, in today's NBA, would snag him close a max contact.

    Anyway, clippy gets some rep for that guess.

    yeah, and back then he was making about 1.5 mill.....i wish salaries would go back to that level...i think that's more reasonable for a basketball player...now it's just getting ridiculous for what's basically half a year of work to play a game.
