Pooh Richardson

I used to have this guys card.

Thought it was the funniest name in professional sport at the time.

Can anyone shed some light on this champions career for me?

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Real name is Jerome.

Pooh was a very solid 10 year veteran, averaged 11ppg, 7apg and 1.4spg.

Quality guard back in the day.

Probablty the best draft choice Timberwolves made prior to KG. Solid pass first shoot second point guard. Not sure what happend to him, I think that he put on a fair bit of weight and lost his competative drive, easy to do when you play for Timberwolves during those years.

hmm... minnesota's best draft choice prior to KG..
probably could argue for laettner...

the pooh-ster probably started going downhill when he joined the clippers...

The brother was name checked on Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet"

He won't be a Hall-of-Famer, but a mention on Rap's best album?

Word.

I enjoyed Pooh's work but also enjoyed Malik Sealey and Bimbo Coles

Talent wise your argument holds, however due to his divasive personallity and selfishness I think that overall Pooh was better for Timberwovles then Laettner. Same argument applies for JR Rider, probably the greatest waste of talent since Roy Tarpley.

I always liked Fat Lever
That name always gave me a laugh.
