My Take

Al Harrington earns a particular kind of respect from me as a survivor. Drafted 25th overall straight out of high school in 1998, he carved out sixteen NBA seasons across seven different franchises, which takes equal parts skill and stubbornness. He was rarely the marquee name, yet teams kept wanting that 206 cm frame and his steady scoring, and that durability impresses me more than any highlight reel. Coming up from Orange, New Jersey, he had the grit you can hear in his story, and his post-career move into business says he never stopped competing. I genuinely admire the journeyman who outlasts the stars.
