Le Saviez-vous ?
Mullin was selected for the 1992 U.S. Olympic Dream Team — widely regarded as the greatest sports team ever assembled — alongside Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Charles Barkley, a recognition of his status as one of the elite players of his generation.
He overcame a battle with alcoholism that required rehabilitation in 1987, emerging stronger and more focused — his recovery became one of the sport's great comeback stories and a testament to resilience and character.
Run TMC — Mullin, Tim Hardaway, and Mitch Richmond — is considered one of the most electrifying offensive trios in Warriors history and one of the most exciting small-ball combinations of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Mullin is one of the rare left-handed shooters in NBA history whose mechanics have been used as instructional models — his release point, arc, and follow-through were considered textbook by shooting coaches of his era.
