Mitch Richmond Chops It Up with Q + D | Knuckleheads S9: EP5 | The Players’ Tribune

[@midwestdolo818]

Mitch was a cheat code on every NBA Live that ever came out! His shooting stats was always high 80's and 90's much respect to the legend

[@AnselTroy]

Facts! I used to use Mitch on super Nintendo

I was just about to say this. I didn't know who he was until NBA Live 96' but once I chose Sacramento I found out the best comparison to a Jordan level player besides Clyde the Glide

[@andrewokamoto]

Mitch Richmond could do it all, post up, shoot from deep, get to the line, mid range, pass, with aggressive defense. The only reason why Mitch Richmond isn't considered a top 5 shooting guard of all time is because he played in Sacramento. He wasted 7 years of his prime there. His best team mate during that time was probably Walt Williams or Corliss Williamson.

[@Marlowe10100]

He really didn't have a team. Had he stayed in GS his career would be much better.

And the ones that do aren't able to help curate the story of how good heads actually were. They let the stats tell the story. Mitch Richmond was one of the best scorers to do it. I always say KD is Mitch if Mitch was 6-7 inches taller - scary! Those who don't know and watch hoop could respect it, but most just laugh and point out numbers. Thanks for this! Always was interested in Mitch Richmond's story and approach to hoopin'.

Went to K-State when Mitch was there. Mitch had the size to post up and dominate most guards. He dominated in the Big 8.
