4. Danny Ainge made it to the major leagues with the Blue Jays in 1979 while still in college, but amassed only modest numbers for the team for parts of three years. In 1981, after receiving the John R. Wooden Award as college basketball player of the year, Ainge was chosen in the 1981 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics, who had to buy out Ainge's contract from the Blue Jays after enduring a legal battle over the rights to it.

6. Steve Nash went completely unrecruited by the U.S. NCAA schools

7. Nash was born in South Africa. He was 18 months old when his parents moved to Canada. Why did they move? The negative effects the apartheid system may have on their children.

Ponder this: If not for Apartheid, would Steve Nash even play Basketball? If the lack of recruiting was a problem when he was in Canada, imagine if he had grown up in South Africa?

Gene Conley played for both the Celtics and the Knicks of the nba and the Boston/Milwaukee Braves, the Phillies and the Red Sox of mlb - and played both professional basketball and baseball at a high level. He played in the world series, the nba finals and three mlb all star games.

As a baseball pitcher, he had a career era of 3.82. As a back-up forward in the nba, in 16.5 minutes he averaged 5.9 points and 6.5 boards. He played the 1962-63, and the 63-64 seasons with the Knicks.

Had it not been for his high school not having a baseball team, Tracy McGrady would have pursued baseball instead of basketball.

23. Red Auerbach used to call David Stern "idiot" to his face.

24. Red also was a taxi-cab confession away from becoming President & GM of the Knicks in the 80's.

25. Patrick Ewing is Jamaican, not African.

26. Michael Jordan once regarded Latrell Sprewell as the best player to ever guard him.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

27.Antonio McDyess has a ritual in which he removes his clothing and puts his game jersey on in a specific order. If the order is not met, he puts his clothes back on and starts over by walking back into the locker room.
