He came right out of HS.    I'm a little older (:)) but he had an impact on the NBA.    Broke a few rims and shattered a few backboards in his day.

Never became the player they expected but he had lots of fun and enjoyed himself immensely; kind of the anti-Kwame Brown

Dawkins probably had a better complement of players around him.    Plus, he didn't have to suffer the Jordan demaning.

DR J; McGinnis, Lloyd (World B) Free; lots of guys who liked to score (on and off the court) so he really didn't need to shoot much.  I forget when he left the Sixers but no he was gone and Moses had arrived by the time they won in 83.  Kobe's dad was on the team then also.

Butterbean

EDIT: per VaRK's reminder.   He was Jellybean.    I thought he was called both Butterbean and Jellybean.    Butterbean Bryant was a boxer.

Butterbean/Jellybean
Yep, Joe Bryant = JB = Jellybean; 6' 10' and don't think he weighed 200.  Would have been a stretch four today; could have used the three point line in his day.  As I recall he had a nasty split with Kobe after the young fella got married.
