You could make the argument that Christian Laettner is the greatest college basketball player of all time; even if you don’t think so, nobody can argue against the fact that he was among the best of the best all time. In addition to leading Duke to back-to-back National Championship teams in 1991 and 1992, he was selected to the hallowed 1992 United States men’s Olympic basketball team (aka “The Dream Team”).

The Minnesota Timberwolves took Laettner with the 3rd overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft, and while his numbers in the NBA weren’t terrible overall, Laettner’s career included six different teams, six trades, and never spending more than three full seasons anywhere (and a suspension for marijuana usage).
