The Pearl, Black Jesus. As a member of the Baltimore Bullets and later the New York Knicks, Earl Monroe dazzled fans and opponents alike with streetball dribbling and scoring flair. Monroe was especially adept at the spin move, which he would often use to freeze defenders before blowing past them to the hoop.
"Earl Monroe destroyed me with that spin move tonight. I knew it was coming, but I couldn't stop it." - Jerry West

Get the Earl Monroe mug.
A great basketball player from the 1960s and 70s who played for the Golden State Warriors. He shot his free throws underhanded and was the NBA's all-time leader in free throw percentage.

He's also an enormous douche of a human being. He made racist remarks about Bill Russell on TV, called a Michael Jordan dunk a "Chinese Superman" because it "had a slant to it", walked out on 2 separate families, and only came back into his sons' lives when they became famous basketball players, just so he could take all of the credit.
Rick Barry wonders why he can't get an NBA head coaching job, but I think it's pretty obvious. Most people don't want to hire a washed-up, arrogant, assholish, has-been douchebag as their coach.

Get the Rick Barry mug.
One of the best centers in NBA history. Playing for the Boston Celtics, Russell helped mold them into basketball's greatest dynasty, winning 11 NBA championships (including 9 straight at one point). His battles with Wilt Chamberlain were legendary, and Russell's Celtics almost always came out on top. Russell is regarded as perhaps the greatest rebounder and defensive player in the history of basketball. After retiring as a player, he moved into coaching and also worked as a television commentator.
Wilt scored on many players -- and ladies -- during his prime, but Bill Russell was not among them. If only those 20,000 women could "front the post" like Russell did!
