Sam Cassell

Cassell won back-to-back NBA championships in his first two professional seasons (1994, 1995) with the Houston Rockets — a start to a career that immediately established him as a winner at the highest level.

His famous 'big balls' celebration dance during the 2003-04 season with Minnesota became one of the most talked-about moments in NBA history — a perfect expression of his larger-than-life personality.

Cassell went on to become one of the most respected assistant coaches in the NBA after retiring, working with multiple teams and developing point guards including John Wall.

Despite never making an All-Star team until age 34 in his 11th season, Cassell consistently produced at an elite level — making him one of the most underappreciated players in league history during his prime.
