Sean Elliott - Ninja

Sean Michael Elliott (born February 2, 1968 in Tucson, Arizona) is a retired American National Basketball Association player. He was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round in 1989. Elliott spent the majority of his career with the Spurs, with the exception of the 1993-94 season, during which he played for the Detroit Pistons. Elliott was an instrumental part of the Spurs' successful NBA title quest in 1999: he tight-roped the right sideline and launched a three-point basket to edge the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. This play, referred to as the "Memorial Day Miracle", shifted the momentum of the series to the Spurs.

Elliott's career high was 41 points against the Dallas Mavericks on December 18, 1992. He finished his career averaging 14.2 points per game, 4.3 rebounds per game and 2.6 assists per game. Elliott is the all-time franchise leader in three-point field goals made (563) and attempted (1,485). He is also the only player in Spurs history to rank among the franchise's top ten in six different statistical categories: games played (third, 669), points (fourth, 9,659), rebounds (sixth, 2,941), assists (seventh, 1,700), steals (eighth, 522), and blocks (ninth, 257).

He played for the US national team in the 1986 FIBA World Championship, winning the gold medal. On March 6, 2005, his #32 jersey was retired and hung in the rafters of the AT&T Center.

I remember the dunk on Vlade. It made my jaw drop. The man got face level with the rim and that is with bad knees. 5*.

I am trying to look for the Pippen dunk on Kemp, when Scottie's arm was close to the top of the backboard.

He was the guy that made a shot of three points with the heels upon the lateral line?

At least know how to spell Da Man's name right, 1946nana! E L L I O T T

He'll always be remembered for being the kid from Tucson, who ended up being the best 'Arizona' student/athlete we've ever had.

Granted, his skills weren't 'playground' like most high school ballers are. They were old school. But he took it to da hole better than most kids do nowadays.

YOU DA MAN SEAN!

Nice tribute. And to top it off you made me dust off one of my old Swollen Members CDs.
