My Take
Glen Rice is the kind of player I instinctively root for: a pure shooter with one of the prettiest jumpers of his generation. Coming out of hard-luck Flint, Michigan, he won the NCAA tournament's Most Outstanding Player honor, then drained 1,559 three-pointers across fifteen NBA seasons, back when the long ball was still undervalued. Three All-Star nods, a 1997 All-Star MVP, and a 2000 championship ring tell the story. I've always preferred elegance to brute force on the court, and Rice was elegance, an arcing arrow rising from a tough town to the top of the league.
