Mackenzie DavisMacKenzie ScottMackenzie CrookIt seems my brain files names thinking Mackenzie is enough of an identifier and then I get confused when I see a headline about MacKenzie Scott giving $436m to charity and momentarily wonder how much money he made from The Detectorists.

Marvin Barnes and Marvin Webster.
I'm halfway through Bad News: The Turbulent Life Marvin Barnes, Pro Basketball's Original Renegade. When I bought it a year or two ago, I suspect I thought I was buying a book about Marvin Webster: longer career, easy to remember because of his nickname "The Human Eraser."
Their rookie seasons were separated by only a year, both began in the ABA, and--although Webster had the nickname that celebrated his shot-making prowess--Barnes was also a proficient shot-blocker. Because of his drug addiction and other issues, Barnes was out of the NBA by 1980; Webster played until 1987.
Barnes was Philly's #2 pick in the '74 NBA draft, after Bill Walton. Denver held his ABA rights, and an agreement was reached whereby if he signed with any ABA team other than Denver, they'd get the #1 pick in the '75 draft. St. Louis signed Barnes, Denver got the consolation draft pick, and they took...Marvin Webster.

"his shot-making prowess"--should say "shot-blocking prowess"
Denver took David Thompson in the '75 draft. They seemed to have a knack in those days for picking potential superstars who flamed out.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 29 April 2022 23:28 (two years ago) link
Thompson was drafted #2 by the Squires.

― clemenza, Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:36 (two years ago) link
I guess you could say he was picked #2 because Denver had the "bonus" pick that year. Thompson in fact was the #1 pick of both Virginia (ABA) and Atlanta (NBA). He never played for either team. I was a 10-year-old kid living in Denver at the time, and I don't remember exactly how Thompson ended up signing with Denver, but it was a big deal.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:41 (two years ago) link
Yeah, it seems like a semantic issue--Wikipedia says Thompson was #1...Thompson's career was short, and I guess that's what you mean by flaming out, but he did average 22.7 PPG and shoot over 50% from the floor, and he was inducted into the HOF in 1996 (obviously his college career figured heavily into that).
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 April 2022 01:43 (two years ago) link
He could legitimately have been the GOAT if not for a combination of injuries and drug use. Sadly, one of the things he is best remembered for is ending his career by being pushed down the stairs at Studio 54 and injuring his knee. That said, I remember being at a Nuggets game in the late 80s-early 90s at which he was in attendance. When his presence was announced, he got a standing ovation.
