Kristi leitner is 2m 1 1, power forward and center. 1992 When he was selected for the dream team, he was still a college player and studied at Duke University, a famous basketball school.
He was chosen for five reasons. The first reason: At that time, leitner led Duke University to win the NCAA championship with 199 1 and 1992 for two consecutive years, and leitner also won the National Athlete of the Year Award, which was regarded as "the trump card of NCAA". At that time, O 'Neill was not selected for the national team (O 'Neill was also in college), and the reason given by the American men's basketball team was that they already had david robinson. At that time, the head coach of the American men's basketball team was Duke University coach K, and he definitely took his apprentice.
The second reason is that leitner, as a white man, is personable and has a good image, which is really suitable for representing the United States as a cover boy. The third reason: The American Basketball Association recruited leitner to show that there are still college students on the team. The fourth reason: these players are too big. Leitner helped them with their luggage, food and drinks after preparing for the competition. O' Neill certainly doesn't want to do these things. The fifth reason is the main reason, because this is Nike's request, otherwise Nike stars such as Jordan are likely not to go.
After winning the Olympic champion, leitner participated in the NBA draft, and was selected by the Timberwolves as the third overall pick with 1992. O 'Neill is the first, Mourning is the second, and leitner is Tan Hua. Leitner's rookie season averaged 18.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists, playing really well, but the rookie season was the peak. Since then, he has been averaging 15+8 per game, which is tepid, and he has turned to Timberwolves, Eagles, Pistons, Lone Rangers, Wizards, Heat and other teams. In the summer of 2005, he chose to retire and become a professional player. So many people say that Duke University is full of gentleman-like role players, but there is no such superstar.
