The Strange Career of the Best Point Guard I've Ever Seen

The first time I heard about Kenny Anderson was probably in the SI article that also made Damon Bailey famous, the one where they listed the best players in the nation from each grade 8-12. I think it was Marcus Liberty, Billy Owens, Kenny Anderson, Damon Bailey and...I'm missing one. Maybe it was JR Reid?

For the next few years Brothatime!! and I heard about The Kid from Rego Park, and were fucking pumped when we heard he was going to Georgia Tecch, which meant we'd get to see him on tv a lot.

It's hard to explain to people who didn't see him play those two years how fucking awesome he was Tech. Was so smooth, so effortless, dude floated up and down the court winging 50-foot passes. Unfortunately he went on to have a so-so pro career, and has become more famous probably for marrying that bitch from the second season of The Real World who let Beth egg her on to accuse David of raping her.

In fact, in looking at his basketball reference page, I see that Anderson's pro career was so strange that not only did he play for seven different teams, but he wore four different uniform numbers. Which I've never even heard of before.

Also worth noting that for at least one year, 1990-1991, the ACC had three of the best point guards in the history of the NCAA: Anderson, Bobby Hurley and Chris Corchiani.
