Throwback Thursdays

First and Foremost, to all you big men out there, I want to apologize for the lack of Power Forwards and Centers in the Throwback Thursdays section. Next week I have a very special big man for all of you guys! As for this week, we're going to feature another point guard who kept on amazing us with his "organized street-ball". Who?! I'm glad you asked! Drum roll please...........

And your Throwback Player of the Week is-Kenny Anderson. Silky smooth handles, amazing court vision and an above average jumper made Anderson one of my all time favorite point guards. His glory years came while he played for the New Jersey Nets from 1991-1996. In his 3rd NBA season, he nearly averaged a double double with 18.8 ppg and 9.6 apg. Those numbers earned him his only All-Star appearance. As the story often goes, sadly, Anderson's career was riddled with injuries, keeping him from reaching his full potential and turning this talented point guard into a journeyman player.

Anderson now coaches The Hombres of the Slamball League (I think it airs on Comedy Central.......if not, IT SHOULD!). Anyways, enjoy the video and comment please!!!
