” I always believed in myself, even when I was young, not because it was my goal at the time, but because I knew I wanted to be the best among my mates, the time I would play basketball. God gave me the chance to belong to this category. This class (of inductees) and all of his accomplishments, to be commemorated in our state is an incredible feeling and something I will always be proud of », reacted the former NBA player.
Jerry Stackhouse is rewarded after his very successful career in the NBA, where he remained for 18 seasons. After his debut in Philadelphia, he exploded in scoring in Detroit. Approaching 30 points per game in one season (2000/01), the back had won two All-Star Game selections while wearing the Pistons jersey.
He then went through the Wizards and the Mavs, before sailing through many formations until the end of his career (Bucks, Heat, Hawks and Nets), without ever winning the title.
The current Vanderbilt coach is inducted into the State Hall of Fame, which already has several prestigious names. Including that of the most prestigious of all, Michael Jordan, his former teammate in Washington, inducted in 2010. Or the former legend of the Lakers and also a member of the great basketball Hall of Fame, James Worthy.
