In 1995, Stoudamire was picked 7th overall by a Raptors team in desperate need of a sensation. Sporting a tattoo of a mouse on his arm, Stoudamire lit up the league with a monstrous rookie campaign.
He deservingly earned the nickname, “Mighty Mouse” winning “Rookie of the Year” in 1995-96. After a string of injuries and nifty performances, Stoudamire ended up at the Blazers where he scored a franchise record 54 points against the Hornets.
As of now, Stoudamire is an integral part of the NBA coaching staff, last seen at the Grizzlies.
