Le Saviez-vous ?
Monk scored 29 points in a single quarter during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers — one of the most prolific single-quarter outbursts in recent NBA memory.
He grew up in a tiny Arkansas town with a population under 2,000 people, making his NBA career path all the more remarkable.
His older brother Darius also played professionally and was a constant training partner who helped push Malik to develop his scoring instincts.
Monk is known for wearing #0 as a nod to starting from nothing — a mindset he developed growing up in rural Arkansas.
