The first time I truly felt like I had made it to the NBA was when I was playing for the Seattle Supersonics, and we were facing Sacramento. I hadn’t played in any games because I was the 12th man on the team. Bernie Bickerstaff called my name with about 46 seconds left in the game, and I made a right-handed jump hook over Vinny Del Negro to secure the win. That’s when I realized I had truly arrived in the league as an NBA player. #CoachAvery #NBAJourney
