Another NBA Great whose career was cut short due to off-court issues. David Thompson's story may be the most tragic. Should have been an even greater NBA legend, and managed to become one in such a short career.

Was very good for the Nuggets in the ABA but could have been better if his career wasn’t cut short because of his drug issues

One of the most tragic NBA stars of all time; DT had the potential to be one of the GOATs of scoring in the league; early in his career, he developed as an amazing scorer, a terrific dunker, and athletic defender who could get 40+ on any given night ( and that 73 point beauty ). Sadly, he fell to the devastating drug problem that came with fame of that era, and it crushed his career. Shoutout to a legend that could've been even greater!
He was Michael Jordan's hero, and was even invited to introduce MJ at his hall of fame induction.
Korzemba already beat you to this. But I agree
Nice comment!
amazing scorer, i believe that game his team also lost tho
Didn't he shoot like 73% from the field tho.

I mean...D Book did that last year so it's kind of normal we do that
