If you guess the player, you'll have my respect & I'll flame 2 of your posts that I like.

Hint: you won't promptly guess it, well perhaps unless you're OG or actually know the game of basketball reallyy well. Partial credit if you accidentally say their name. Nah, that makes it too easy.

but another hint, he was one of my favorite players growing up.

If you ask the right questions, I'll give you hints. Another huge hint, I've never seen anyone wearing their jersey before... but then again I lived like 1.08699e-10 lightyears away from where he played. Good luck.
