During his childhood years, people close to him didn’t see any signs that Elvin Hayes would become a legend in the world of basketball. At first, he was just a regular clumsy kid from his school doing all sorts of stuff. He later joined his school’s basketball team but didn’t show any star potential but with his investments of hard work and practice on perfecting his craft all paid off and instead of a benchwarmer he used to be in his team, led them into a state championship and that paved the way for him to the legend that we know today.

• San Antonio Spurs 1974 – 1976 (ABA), 1976 – 1985
• Chicago Bulls 1985 – 1986

George Gervin has one of the smoothest finger rolls in the league and that easily earned him the nickname “The Iceman.” He contributed a great deal in the world of basketball and the league awarded all of his investments towards the game by honoring him as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history. Gervin was effective on both sides of the court but he was deadly on the offensive end equipped with all of the weapons he needed in his arsenal.

• Indiana Pacers 1987 – 2005

Many basketball fans and enthusiasts place a lot of credit to Reggie Miller being the best long-range shooter of his era. He was shockingly effective as a player that his rival fans from New York coined him as the “Knick Killer.” Aside from that, his game significantly got better during crunch time! On the other hand, Miller is considered the best Pacers of all-time. Indiana placed huge investments in him and he delivered big time!

WES UNSELD

Wes Unseld was one of Washington’s treasures when it comes to the basketball world. He was their number one force on the hardwood during his era and immediately made an impact in the game during his rookie year winning not only the NBA Rookie of the Year Award but the Most Valuable Player Award as well. That makes him and Wilt Chamberlain the only players who have won this accomplishment in the history of the NBA. He had everything settled after he retired playing the game of basketball, including his investments and all that stuff but he just can’t leave his passion hanging and he immediately took a coaching and front office job after his time on the court.
