Dave DeBusschere may be best known as one of the best forwards of his generation, finishing his 12-year career with averages of 16.1 points and 11 rebounds per game. However DeBusschere was also a two-sport athlete who spent two seasons in Major League Baseball as well.

A pitcher with the Chicago White Sox, DeBusschere spent two years with the team. Over that stretch, he went 3-4 with a 2.90 ERA and 1.38 WHIP.

- During the last game of the 1986 regular season Larry Bird had the Free Throw% title on lock. Shooting nearly 90% from the line, teammate Danny Ainge shot just over 90%, but he didn't attempt enough free throws to qualify for the title. During game #82 Ainge suddenly started attacking the rim like a mad man and getting fouled so he can qualify for the FT title, the team suddenly realized what he was doing and he got benched, he shot 12 free throws that game and all he needed was a couple more free throws and he would have gotten the title.

Is this true? LOL if so.

For some reason, Hakeem reminds me of Dylan there.
