Bama in the NBA: Catching up with Tide stars in "The League"

Former Alabama Stars Playing Well in NBA

There are currently 4 former Alabama Crimson Tide players on active NBA rosters. We decided to look at each to see how they are doing in the first half of the 06-07 season.

Maurice "Mo" Williams is in his first year with the Milwaukee Bucks after playing the last two with the Utah Jazz. Mo, who just returned from a shoulder injury, is the starting point guard for the Bucks and is averaging 17.7 points, 6 assist, and 5 rebounds a game. He has become one of the best young point guards in the league and has flourished as a starter. While the young Bucks are not likely to make a championship run this year, they certainly have a tremendous young point guard to build the team around in the future.

Gerald Wallace, who only spent one year at Bama before becoming a first round selection, is one of the Charlotte Bobcats top players. The human highlight reel, Wallace, has battled injuries this season but is currently healthy and playing great basketball. He is averaging 14. 6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and around 2 assist and 2 steals per game. He is the second leading score for the Bobcats and leads the team in steals. Still very young, if Wallace can stay injury free he will remain a very good NBA player for years.

Robert Horry, also known as "Big Shot Bob" is one of the most clutch shooters of all time and has won 6 NBA championships in his career. Currently playing for the San Antonio Spurs, Horry has seen his stats drop off the last few seasons but is still a vital role player and the man you want shooting the ball with the game on the line. Averaging 4 points and rebounds a game his Spurs are in position to give Horry his record seventh NBA title.

Antonio McDyess, of the Detroit Pistons, is another NBA veteran trying to help his team win an NBA title. He was the second overall pick in the 1995 draft and was one of the most explosive players in the NBA, averaging about 18 points and 9 rebounds a game in his first 6 seasons. He is currently a reserve power forward averaging about 6 points and 6 rebounds a game for the Pistons.
