Alam Mo Ba?
Archibald is the only player in NBA history to simultaneously lead the league in scoring AND assists in the same season — 34.0 PPG and 11.4 APG in 1972-73. The feat has never been repeated.
He grew up in the South Bronx during one of its most difficult eras and used basketball as his only path out — a story that has made him a symbol of determination in New York basketball culture.
Despite his individual brilliance, Archibald had to wait until his Celtics years in 1981 to win an NBA Championship, proving that elite individual players sometimes need the right team around them.
His nickname 'Tiny' was simultaneously a physical description and an irony — there was nothing small about his game or his impact on the sport.
