At a Glance

- Two time Playoff MVP and member of five championship teams, four with the Globetrotters and one with the Hawks
- Floor general in the vein of Nick Van Exel early in his career, leading the powerful Globes' offenses with his masterful passing while protecting the rock; later in his career he transitioned into more of a combo guard and became much more relied upon as a scorer in his stints with Atlanta and Tri-Cities, even starting some stretches as a shooting guard
- Underrated defender who made two first team defensive units
- Posted two of the only fifteen 1000+ single season assist totals ever recorded, holding 2 of the top 12 single season efforts of all-time and 3 of the top 50
- Holds the TMBSL record for assists in a single game with 30 assists in a game during the 2018 season in Harlem
- Retires 37th all-time in career win shares at 139.9, finishing as one of only 41 players to have a .200 or higher career WS/48 mark (.202 for his career, tied with Cameron Reddish)
- 11th all-time in career assists, 14th all-time in career assist to turnover ratio, and 33rd all-time in career steals
- Hilariously made both the rookie game and All-Rookie second team despite playing only 99 total minutes in the 2013 season
