In case you forgot, Christian Laettner is more than just that incredible buzzer-beater over Kentucky in 1992. He was the Player of the Year and a consensus All-American during his final season at Duke. He was included in the 1992 USA Olympic “Dream Team” as a college student.

In the NBA, he was just average. He made the All-Rookie team and was an all-star in 1997, but other than those two highlights, there wasn’t really much to write home about with Laettner. He averaged 12.8 PPG, and 6.7 RPG over a 15-year NBA career. Good, not great.
A tragic injury robbed this next playmaker of a revolutionary career.
