Although the "triple double" is not as precious as it was in the past due to the accelerated pace of the NBA today, it is still very difficult for many ordinary players to get this data in their careers. Therefore, Ricky Davis was against this point, and in the last moments of the game, he was angrily triple-double, and was ridiculed by the media group.
In fact, in addition to Davis, there is another player who has also been criticized by the media for brushing triple-doubles, he is Bob Sula, and fans of the old rockets must be quite familiar with him, because in Yao Mai's first 04-05 season of cooperation, he was the team's starting point guard. However, after only one year of playing with the Rockets, he chose to retire, why did he leave the NBA early when he was only 32 years old, and where is he now after retiring?
The absolute star of the Buddha, the talent was matched by the knights.
With a height of 1.96 meters and a weight of 91 kilograms, this model is very similar to the slightly weaker Kobe, and this is Bob Sura. He was already well-known in the NCAA before he entered the NBA, when he played for the traditional Florida State University, which is familiar with stars such as Al Horford, Joakin Noah, Corey Brewer, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, and Scotty Barnes, the future core of the Raptors. Sulla's college career was equally brilliant compared to theirs, and when he left college, he held three records for the varsity team's total scores, shots and shots.
And he was also the first player in varsity history to score 2,000 points, 700 rebounds, 400 assists and 200 steals, so in recognition of his contribution, the retirement ceremony of the No. 3 jersey for him in 2007 was enough to prove his importance to the university.
With such a great college performance and a strong talent different from the average white man, although he was 22 years old when he ran for the election, Sula was still selected by the Cavaliers in the 1995 draft, and he has been in the NBA ever since. However, unlike when he was in college, he had to make concessions for the main force of the team after entering the NBA, and he had to start from the bench step by step.
It took five years to become the main force of the team.
The 95-96 season, Sulla's first year in the NBA, was a decent Cavaliers lineup, the core of the team was two-time All-Star point guard Trier Brandon, and Sula could only play as a substitute for Brandon. Despite playing in 79 games, but averaging only 14.6 minutes per game, the Cavaliers are not willing to give the rookie too much time, after all, they were still a playoff team at the time, coupled with the Eastern Conference is full of power, only more veterans can guarantee winning.
In the end, he ended his rookie season with 5.3 points and 2.9 assists. By the following year, however, the Cavaliers saw Sulla's breakthrough as a threat to the basket, thus increasing his time to 27.7 minutes and having 23 more starts in 82 games. This year, Sula used his active performance to become the engine of the team's second lineup, and the data also grew to 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists, which is still good for the second point guard.
However, the sudden injury caused Sula to play again in the next two seasons, and even the Cavaliers moved to trade him, until the 99-00 season, due to the lack of enough guards, which made then-manager Randy Whitman think of Bob Sula, who was once activated to become the main player of the team, averaging a career-high 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
However, although the stats have improved, Sula's shortcomings have also been exposed, he does not like passing, and because of the explosive play, it is very easy to cause injuries, which makes the Cavaliers ultimately choose to sign a new contract with him.
In the warriors high and low walk, eventually wandering around.
In the 00-01 season, Sula came to the Golden State Warriors, at this time the Warriors are still the famous bad teams in the NBA, and their main core this season is naturally Jamison with 24.9 points and 8.7 rebounds, in addition, as many as 21 players have played for the Warriors this season, and in the end they have also achieved a 17-65 bottom record. Sulla's first year was good, with Cornes as the team's starter, averaging 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, but with injuries and the rise of Larry Hughes, Arenas and others,
Sula was once again sent to the Pistons, after two seasons with the Warriors, who were sent to the Hawks as the 03-04 champion team, who were sent to the Hawks as a bargaining chip in trading Rashid Wallace after 53 games for them. In the Eagles' 27 games, Sula turned on the data brush mode, averaging 14.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, including the bad track of two consecutive triple-doubles, the third one deliberately missing a layup, and maliciously brushing a triple-double.
By the 04-05 season, it was the familiar Sula who came to the Rockets, and although he had 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists, he was barely efficient. However, his fatal flaw has not changed, keen to break through, rather than playing with Yao Ming, which makes Yao Ming always in the key position, always can not get Sura's pass, his overall view and organizational ability is really difficult to integrate into the rocket system, and finally the rocket also gave up on him.
At the age of 32, he retired helplessly and now becomes a professional poker player.
After being abandoned by the Rockets, the then 32-year-old Sula still had a fight, but looking at the thirty teams, none of them were willing to throw an olive branch to him, one was that he could not play a qualified point guard on the court, always putting himself alone first, and the other was his injury history, which was difficult for other teams to trust him.
In the end, however, at the age of 32, he chose to retire. After retiring from the military, Sula seems to have disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had become a professional poker player, bringing his talent to the table.
