Elvin Hayes
His number 11 is retired by the Bullets. He helped lead the 1978 Bullets to win the NBA Finals.
Hayes was drafted first overall in the 1968 NBA Draft by the San Diego Rockets, and he quickly established himself as a premier player in the league. He led the NBA in scoring during his rookie season, averaging 28.4 points per game, a remarkable feat for a first-year player. Over the course of his career, Hayes played for both the Rockets and the Washington Bullets, where he helped lead the Bullets to an NBA Championship in 1978. His consistency and durability were hallmarks of his game, as he missed only nine games throughout his entire career.
One of Hayes' most impressive accomplishments is his longevity in the NBA. He ranks third all-time in minutes played, logging exactly 50,000 minutes over his 16 seasons. This incredible endurance, combined with his skill set, allowed him to accumulate over 27,000 points and 16,000 rebounds, placing him among the all-time greats in both categories. Hayes was a 12-time NBA All-Star and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1990, solidifying his legacy as one of the best power forwards to ever play the game.
In addition to his playing career, Hayes has remained involved in basketball as a radio analyst for his alma mater, the Houston Cougars. His insights and experience provide valuable commentary for fans and players alike. Hayes' contributions to the game, both on and off the court, have left an indelible mark on the sport of basketball, and his influence continues to be felt by future generations of players.
