Mitch Richmond

He was a six time NBA All Star. His number 2 was retired by the Kings.

Mitchell James Richmond III, born on June 30, 1965, is a former professional basketball player who left an indelible mark on the NBA. Richmond began his collegiate career at Moberly Area Community College before transferring to Kansas State University, where he showcased his scoring prowess and athleticism. His impressive college performance led to him being selected as the fifth overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. Richmond quickly made an impact in the league, earning the NBA Rookie of the Year award in 1989, a testament to his immediate contribution and potential as a future star.

Richmond's NBA career spanned 14 seasons, during which he became known for his consistent scoring ability and versatility on the court. He played for several teams, including the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards, and Los Angeles Lakers. However, it was during his seven seasons with the Sacramento Kings that Richmond truly cemented his legacy. He averaged over 21 points per game throughout his career, and his ability to score from both inside and outside made him one of the most feared shooting guards of his era. Richmond's contributions to the Kings were so significant that the franchise retired his No. 2 jersey in his honor.

A six-time NBA All-Star and five-time All-NBA Team member, Richmond was widely respected by his peers and fans alike. His smooth shooting stroke, combined with his physicality and basketball IQ, made him a difficult matchup for any defender. Richmond's career was highlighted by his ability to perform at a high level consistently, and he was often the go-to player for his teams in clutch situations. In 2002, Richmond won an NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, adding a crowning achievement to his illustrious career.

In 2014, Mitchell Richmond was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, a fitting recognition of his contributions to the game of basketball. His legacy as one of the premier shooting guards of the 1990s remains intact, and his influence on the game continues to be felt by younger generations of players. Richmond's work ethic, professionalism, and dedication to the sport have earned him a place among the all-time greats in basketball history.
