Did You Know?
Looney grabbed 22 rebounds in Game 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals against Boston — the most by any player in a Finals game since the Bill Russell era.
He overcame multiple serious hip surgeries early in his career that threatened to end his playing days before they began.
Looney is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin — the same city as Jordan Poole, making them hometown teammates in New Orleans.
Despite career averages in the 7-8 PPG range, Looney has been essential on three championship teams — proof that winning basketball values contribution over statistics.
