Happy 49th birthday to former PAC-10 Player of the Year, 1996 third-overall pick in the NBA Draft, 1996-97 first-team All-Rookie and 2001-02 All-Star, Shareef Abdur-Rahim!
Abdur-Rahim had a stellar singular season in college as a California Bear before making a seemingly seamless transition to the NBA. As a rookie, he averaged 18.7 points and 6.9 rebounds-per-game as a member of the then-Vancouver Grizzlies. He’d play five seasons with the Grizzlies before getting traded to Atlanta in a deal that included future Hall of Famer Pau Gasol ahead of the 2001-02 season.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Abdur-Rahim rewarded the Hawks with his lone All-Star appearance of his career, averaging 21.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals-per-contest in 2001-02. With that being said, can you name every player on the 2001-02 NBA All-Star teams?
Good luck!
