Some guys never fully get the respect they deserve. Take Larry Johnson. At 6-7 and 250, the former UNLV and NBA star was a tremendous basketball player who presented all kinds of problems for opponents.
In college, he led UNLV to the 1990 championship, including a smashing 30-point win over Duke in the finals.
The following year, the teams met again in the Final Four, this time in the semis. UNLV was undefeated at 34-0 and Duke pulled off a stunner, 79-77.
In the NBA, Johnson started with the Charlotte Hornets where he briefly teamed up with Alonzo Mourning and Muggsy Bogues for an incredibly charismatic young team.
