His flashy dribbling technique and smooth passing skills was cheered by the crowd who waited for him to basket the ball or bring upon a ravishing assist that resulted in nothing but the ball in the net. It was due to these features that he became one of the youngest players ever to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

He acquired his basketball skills from his father who was a former professional player-turned coach. From a very early age, he surprized his family with his detailed understanding of the game and sporting skills. A fanatic, he spent hours perfecting head fakes, long range shots, passes and learning ball control tricks. It was due to his excellence at the game that even before reaching the required age for enrolling at Daniel High School, he started playing for their varsity ball. He gained admission in 1961 and for two years henceforth, played every game. Due to his father’s transfer to North Carolina State University, the family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. Therein, he gained admission at Needham B. Broughton High School. It was while at Broughton that his unique habit of shooting the ball from his side, that gave an impression of him holding a revolver became famous. Soon, due to the same, he earned the nickname, ‘Pistol’ Pete Maravich. Completing his high school graduation, he enrolled at Louisiana State University wherein his father served as the varsity coach. In his freshman year, he played for LSU freshman team. He gave a resounding performance with 50 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.

Career His professional stint at basketball began in 1970 when he was selected to play for Atlanta Hawks in the first round of NBA draft. What was interesting to note is that the team already boasted of having top-notch scorers in Lou Hudson and Walt Bellamy! However, while Hudson was a conservative player, Maravich was radical in his game plan. His association with Atlanta Hawks turned profitable both for him and the team. In his 81 outings, he averaged 23.2 points which was great, considering his first professional experience. What’s more, he changed his playing style to match with those of star players of his team Despite good personal record, the team performance dabbled as it merely qualified for the playoffs losing in the first round. The performance of the team in the second season was a mirror effect of the first one, excepting that his personal average dipped to 19.3. The match against Boston Celtics was the turning point in his career as he rambled to put up an average of 27.7. Also, the match was a precursor of what to expect in the upcoming season. The third season was a terrific one for the team and players in general as the team secured 46-36 record, but losing yet again in the first round of the playoffs. As for him, his personal bests stood at an average of 26.1 points with 6.9 assists per game. He and Hudson became the only second set of teammates in league history to score over 2,000 points in a single season The 1973-74 season was memorable in terms personal records but the team performance dwindled to all time low with a record of 35-47. However, he averaged 27.7 points, second in the league after Bob McAdoo In the 1974 season, the New Orleans Jazz made its entry into the NBA and was looking for dynamic players who would provide the real boost to the team. The requisites of the team were fulfilled by him as he was drafted into the team. His inclusion did not do much good for the team and for him in general, as New Orleans Jazz posted a record 23-59, which was the worst in NBA. Furthermore, his personal record came slashing down to 21.5 points per game. With a better supporting team, the next season proved worthwhile for the team as it went on to score 38-44 record. He was down with injuries which caused him to play just 62 games overall. His average stood at 25.9 points. However, his inherent skills were much appreciated by the crowd. Season 1976-77 was iconic in his professional career as he led the league with an average of 31.1 points per game. While he scored 40 points or more in 13 different games, his masterstroke of 68 points against the Knicks was the highest ever by any player. Sadly, he could not long hold being at the zenith of the game and his career was down with injuries. Knee problems forced him to miss 32 games at a stretch. Despite this, he made a flashing comeback scoring 27.0 points per game, and 6.7 assists. The figures though respectable helped New Orleans post 39-43 record. He continued to battle with his injuries which limited his appearance to 49 games. He nevertheless managed to score 22.6 points per game. However, the dismissal financial condition of the team led it to be moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. His contribution towards Utah Jazz was a menial one, as his injuries took the better of him. In 1980, he was put on waivers and became a part-time contributor to the team. He helped the team pose 61-21 record in the regular season, which was the best in the league. He retired from the game after the 1979-80 season, realizing that the knee injury had worsened over the course of the year. Awards & Achievements He made several NBA records in his lifetime, including scoring a career-high 68 points against New York Knick in 1977 and posing career best average of 31.1. Along with Hudson, he became the second pair of teammates in NBA history to score 2,000 or more points in a season. With Denver Nuggest, he became the third pair of teammates in NBA history to score 40 or more points in the same game. NBA career apart, his collegiate career also holds some magnificent record as he scored highest scoring average of 44.5, and total points of 3667. In his lifetime, he received numerous NBA Awards including, NBA All-Rookie Team, All-NBA First Team (twice), All-NBA Second Team (twice) and Five-time NBA All-Star.

What if I’d been on it

One day Nasreddin Hodja loses his donkey. He looks for it everywhere and asks around but whatever he does, he can’t find his donkey. Rather than pining over the loss as expected, he counts his blessings.

His neightbours say:

-“Hodja! Take it easy but you’ve lost a donkey after all. What’s to be so grateful for?”

Hodja quips:

-“Oh, dear neighbours, who should be grateful but me? What if I’d been on the donkey?”

Vince Carter

Though he prefers the name “Vince”, he was born Vincent Lamar Carter in Daytona Beach, FL at Halifax Hospital on January 26, 1977.  He attended public and private schools, beginning at age 4, in Deland, South Miami and Daytona Beach.  He was the only seventh grader to ever play on Campbell Junior High School’s varsity basketball team as a starter.  In addition to being captain of Mainland High School’s volleyball team, he is said to be the most gifted and decorated basketball player to grace the court at Mainland High School where he graduated with honors in 1995.  Other high school honors included USA Today, Parade, and McDonald’s All-America and was voted Florida’s 1995 Basketball Player-of-the-Year.  Vince provided lots of musical excitement when he played baritone and saxophone in the marching and jazz bands, respectively, at Mainland and was voted head drum major for his senior year.  In 1995, Vince was voted to the USA Junior National Team where he played in the World Championships. As a Tarheel at the University of North Carolina from 1995 through 1998, Vince garnered, for two consecutive years, the statistical leader award.  In addition, he earned the best field goal percentage and the defensive player of the year awards in 1998.  Vince helped the Tarheels make it to the final four in 1997 and 1998.  In both of these games, he was the leading scorer.  His outstanding college play propelled him to the five (5) finalists for the prestigious “John Wooden Award” and the national player of the year award. Vince was among the top five draft picks in the 1998 NBA draft and joined the Toronto Raptors where he distinguished himself in his rookie season as an explosive player with a powerful dunk and colorful on-court play.  He was selected 1999 NBA “Rookie of the Year,” garnering 113 of 118 possible points.  He was also named Sportsman of the Year for NBA’s Central Division. In 2000, Carter distinguished himself as the NBA Slam Dunk Contest winner and proudly represented the United States on the Olympic Basketball Team.  He wowed the crowds in Hawaii, Japan, and Australia and is one of the proud United States gold medal winners.  Dunking over a seven-foot opponent added thrills and awe to Carter’s already die-hard fans. Vince led the Toronto Raptors to three playoff berths, and after joining the New Jersey Nets in 2004, led them to three playoff berths.  In July 2009, Vince was traded to the Orlando Magic and helped them reach the playoffs in 2010.  In December 2010, Vince joined the Phoenix Suns.  In 2011, at the end of the NBA lockout, Vince was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, reining NBA champions.  In 2014, Vince joined the Memphis Grizzlies. He was selected as an NBA All-Star for eight consecutive years, leading all vote getters for four of those years.  The fans chose Vince as a starter in six of the eight years.  In 2003, Vince was named to the U.S. Men’s Senior National Team for the FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico where he helped the U.S. to a 10-0 mark. In 2004-2005, Vince became the 26th fastest player in the history of the NBA to reach 10,000 points.  In 2012, Carter became the 104th player in the NBA to appear in 1,000 games.  In 2013, Carter became the 33rd player in NBA history with at least 8,000 career field goals, the 28th player in NBA history to eclipse the 22,000-point mark, and the 11th player in NBA history with at least 16,000 career triples (1,638).  In 2006 and 2007, Vince was named the Continental Work Hard Fly Right Player of the Year.  Also in 2007, Vince was inducted into the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame for his outstanding representation of Florida while attending Mainland High School in Volusia, County, Florida. Carter’s most significant accomplishment culminated in May 2001, when he accepted his diploma from the University of North Carolina for completing his degree in African-American Studies. While Carter is proud of his development and success as a basketball player, he also takes great pride in his work off the court through his Embassy of Hope Foundation, assisting children and their families in Florida, New Jersey and Toronto.  Carter established his foundation in 1998 when he was drafted into the NBA.  The Embassy of Hope’s slogan, “Believing in Your Dreams”, represents Vince’s own approach to success, while encouraging others who may be less fortunate to see that they too can be a winner.  In addition to the yearly scholarship program and support for organizations serving his community, Kai’s Kloset has added a new dimension to the foundation’s philanthropy.  Vince’s nine-year old daughter, Kai Michelle, donates clothes she has outgrown for children who have clothing needs.  Florida Governor, Charlie Crist, recognized Vince as a Points of Light recipient because of his philanthropic endeavors. A budding businessman, Vince is or has been endorsed during his NBA career by such corporations as Nike, Wilson, Gatorade, EA Sports, T-Mobile and others.  He is the President of Visions In Flight, Inc., a for-profit corporation, and Embassy of Hope Foundation, Inc., a non-profit charity.  Vince’s most recent undertaking is Vince Carter’s, a restaurant in Daytona Beach that opened January 19, 2010, where he is the co-owner. Vince’s efforts to improve the quality of life for parents and their children have been recognized by the Children’s Home Society prompting the organization to name him the 2000 “Child Advocate-of-the-Year”.  Volusia County Schools named the gymnasium at Mainland High School the Vince Carter Athletic Center honoring his gift to the district of 2.5 million dollars.  In addition, Vince and his mother, Michelle Carter-Scott, donated $1.6 million to the Stewart-Marchman Foundation to help build a 100-bed treatment facility for alcohol and drug addiction recovery named “The Vince Carter Sanctuary”.  For his continuing efforts to influence positive change and help others, Stewart-Marchman-Act and NASCAR honored Vince at a dinner for his philanthropic endeavors.  He was the honorary pace car driver for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona Beach International Speedway.  Most recently, Volusia County declared Sunday, January 10, 2010 as Vince Carter and Michelle Carter-Scott Day. His mother, Michelle Carter-Scott, and his father, Edgar Scott support him in all of his efforts.  Vince has one daughter, Kai Michelle Carter, and three siblings, Chris, Jeff, and Alicia.

Dikembe Mutombo

Dikembe Mutombo, in full Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo, byname Deke, (born June 25, 1966, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo), Congolese-American basketball player who was one of the best defenders in National Basketball Association (NBA) history and was also noted for his philanthropic efforts.

The son of a father who worked as a school principal and then in Congo’s department of education, Mutombo grew up dreaming of becoming a doctor and eventually mastered nine languages (French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and five Central African dialects). At the encouragement of his father and brother, the rapidly growing Mutombo took up basketball at age 16. His past participation in football (soccer) and martial arts eased his transition into the new sport, but he was still relatively raw when he moved to Washington, D.C., in 1987 to attend Georgetown University on an academic scholarship.

Mutombo had little interest in pursuing basketball when he arrived on campus, but he caught the attention of legendary Georgetown coach John Thompson, who recruited the 7-foot 2-inch (2.18-metre) prospective medical-school student to join the basketball team. After spending a year dominating Georgetown’s intramural basketball league while straightening out his eligibility, Mutombo joined the Hoyas during his sophomore year but played sparingly during his first season on the team. He began to break out during his junior year, as Thompson began playing Mutombo alongside star forward-centre (and fellow future Hall of Famer) Alonzo Mourning in an intimidating “twin tower” lineup. Mutombo established himself as an NBA prospect during his senior season, averaging 15.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, and a stellar 4.7 blocks per game. He was then selected by the Denver Nuggets with the fourth overall pick of the 1991 NBA draft.

Mutombo made an immediate impact on the NBA, piling up 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks per game during his rookie season and earning a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team. During the first round of the 1993–94 postseason, he helped the Nuggets defeat the top-seeded Seattle SuperSonics, the first time an eighth seed had ever won an NBA play-off series. A television shot of a jubilant and crying Mutombo lying on the court and holding a basketball over his head after the series-clinching victory became one of the iconic images in league history. The following season, the second of three straight during which he led the NBA in blocks per game, saw Mutombo win his first NBA defensive player of the year (DPOY) award. In 1996 he signed with the Atlanta Hawks, with whom he continued his defensive dominance, winning two more DPOYs (1996–97, 1997–98). He was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2000–01 season, after which he earned a fourth DPOY award and aided the 76ers in reaching the NBA finals (a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers). Mutombo finished his NBA career playing for the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, and Houston Rockets. He retired after the 2008–09 season with 3,289 career blocks (second most in NBA history) and eight total All-Star honours. Mutombo was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015.

Off the court, Mutombo was noted as one of the most-charitable players to have ever played the game. He established the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation in 1997, which focused on building hospitals and providing health care in central Africa. In 2007 the foundation opened the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital (named for his mother), which was the first new hospital established in Kinshasa in 40 years. In 2009 Mutombo was named the NBA’s Global Ambassador, a role that saw him travel the world to celebrate the sport and take part in charitable events. He won the NBA’s J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in 2001 and 2009, becoming the first two-time winner of the award with the latter honour.
