Tayshaun Prince

Tayshaun Prince is one of my favorite kinds of players, the long, lanky forward whose value lived in the details. From Compton to the University of Kentucky, where he was named Conference Player of the Year, he became the understated glue of Detroit's golden era. With his famous wingspan and chase-down blocks, his defense was practically artwork. I gravitate toward players who erase the opposing star and contribute the unglamorous way rather than chasing scoring titles. His climb from a rough city to a championship is the kind of story that stirs me. A winner who shone beside the spotlight, not in it.
