I think his legacy will always be that he owned being the face of a "bad NBA player" and educated all of us on how high of a level the NBA is, that even garbage-time players in the NBA are still so incomprehensibly good at basketball that they would destroy any of us. And hey, he'll be remembered. "I don't suck at basketball. I suck compared to Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook. Those guys are pretty fuckin good.

It's funny I'd never even heard of this guy while growing up in the south Puget Sound region myself back the in the mid-late 90's when he played at Enumclaw and Highline. It's probably because he kind of crept up slowly out of nowhere and was not exactly McDonalds All-American material as a high schooler or even D1 scholarship material at first. To go from barely getting any respect as a 10 or 11th grader on his high school's basketball team to a legit NBA role player is actually pretty amazing.
