Aaron McKie -26
Aaron McKie enjoyed a 15 year NBA career as guard and small forward in the NBA from 1994 through the 2007 season. His career high for points in any one season was with the 2000-2001 Philadelphia 76ers, when he knotted 878 points. His forte was the three point shot, which he nailed 295 times for the Sixers, placing him as eighth on the all time list.
During his entire NBA career, he scored 5,871 points. Of that total, he plunked 4,143 points while playing for Philly.
He was on the Sixers roster for six playoff runs, and was a trusted teammate and friend of Allen Iverson
“Aaron McKie,” Iverson said and he repeated the name three more times. “I mean he was my teammate but he was on another level. He was my teammate but he was my friend.” Iverson paused long and hard in between his thoughts, fighting back tears.
“He helped me so much in my career,” Iverson continued. “I talk about the mistakes that I made in my career. I made a million of them, but if it weren’t for Aaron McKie I would have made two million of them. He is just somebody I always listened to and could talk to about anything.”
