Why he might be annoying:

    His NBA teams never made it to the conference finals (final four).
    After his long Hawks tenure, he jumped from team to team, including two stints in Europe.
    He played in the shadow of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His father was in the Air Force.
    He was known for his amazing acrobatic style and his trademark windmill dunk.
