Mister had the good fortune of landing with Coach Don Nelson, a creative coach who loved looking for unconventional matchups to give an edge to his usually undertalented teams. A standard NBA coach might have overlooked a 5'7" point guard.
Mr. had the genius to make it work, but Nelson had the smarts to give him a chance.

The Warriors and Lakers combined for 48 3-point attempts, setting an NBA record. The previous mark was 47, set by Orlando and New York last April and matched by Phoenix and Seattle Friday night.
The NBA's decision to move the line in from a maximum of 23 feet, 9 inches, to 22 feet before this season to help boost offenses and open up the lane has led to a league-wide increase in 3-pointers.
And in Golden State, where Mullin could be out until January with an injured knee, and Webber remains unsigned, it has turned into the key to success.

In another blurb within "Sports Briefs" of that same JC Press issue (from the post above), we have this:
"ETSU tailback Brian Edwards was named freshman of the week after carrying 21 times for 144 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-13 win over UT-Chattanooga. Edwards has led ETSU in rushing six times this season."
