Chris Mihm

Chris Mihm is a reminder that the NBA is a brutal place even for the gifted. Standing 213 cm, the Milwaukee-born, Texas-raised center was a genuine prospect, taken seventh overall in 2000 after starring for the Longhorns. He went on to share a locker room with the Lakers' great teams, no small thing. What strikes me most is that nine seasons in the league, often fighting injuries, is its own kind of triumph; size opens the door, but persistence keeps you in the room. I respect the grind behind a career like his, the quiet labor that rarely earns headlines.
