South Central Los Angeles So Wut U Wanna Do??
In this year long series I will highlight 365 players both present and past...mostly past...all to ask one simple question....

The fukk He At??

I will simply research a player and give a brief rundown of their career and then give an update as to what they are doing with their present lives

nikka I'm bored........

Dana Barros-
Size 5'11" 163lbs
School: Boston College
Draft: 1989, 16th overall by Seattle Supersonics
Teams: Supersonics 76ers Celtics Pistons
Accolades: 1995 all star 1995 most improved player
Career Stats: 10.5ppg, 3.3apg, 1.9rpg


Dana Barros was definitely one of my favorite players to follow growing up...he was a short quick PG that could shoot the lights out...i remember him most with the 76ers.

I actually learned something new doing research on him....he was Gary paytons back up in Seattle before he was traded to Charlotte for Kendall gill in 93.

Then he was traded to the 76ers just 2 days later for Hersey Hawkins...In Philly he started played 31 minutes a game and damn near double his ppt from 7.8 to 13.3.

In 94-95 he balled out averaging 20.6ppg 7.5apg and 3.3rbg on 49%fg and 46%3fg:ehh:

He even dropped 50 on the Rockets and had a triple double against Orlando...continued from the previous season he set an NBA record of 89 straight games of making a 3pt fg that lasted almost 20 years until Kyle Korver broke it in 2013

After that season he pretty much became a journey man until he retired in 2002

In 2006 he was an assistant coach at northeastern University for 2 months then resigned to become the director of recreation for the city of Boston:yeshrug:

Nowadays he's working in the media relations department for the Celtics and he's a "basketball insider" for NESN

Dude was a staple on NBA live whenever I needed a 3 I was going to him:mjlit:

He’s doing good. Opened up Dana Barros Basketball Club in Stoughton, Ma. Great facility, they had a 2 week basketball clinic for the kids, free of charge. He trained kids himself and is a very nice approachable person. I believe he also does coaching for BC basketball.

That Kendall Gill trade should have worked out better than it did for us, but Gill was never really happy here in Seattle, mostly because George Karl is a trash human being who feeds off the misery of his players.

Anyway, this is about Dana Barros, who was a solid backup and a guy I enjoyed watching. Good quickness and solid ball handler.

For me, the dude who I would pull threes with when I needed one was Tracy Murray, who I don't even think was a particularly proficient three-point shooter in real life. But on NBA Live 95 and 96, he would drain them all day.

I got so good at those games that I would kill the computer on the hardest level by sixty to eighty per game, and Tracy Murray would have numbers like Steph Curry on steroids, like 12-16 threes and shyt.
