He was given the nickname “Baby Jordan” in college. Not only did he bear a striking physical resemblance to Michael Jordan, he also had similar athleticism and dominated the college game as one of the best USC Trojans in Program History, with Sports Illustrated even naming his as the 1992 College Basketball Player of the year, ahead of Shaquille O’Neal, Alonzo Mourning and Christian Laettner. Unfortunately for Harold Miner when he got to the NBA, he could never get close to the Michael Jordan comparisons. His game may have been too one dimensional, and there were improvements that he could have made, but less talked about is how unstable his time with the Miami Heat was in regards to playing time, add that to the fact that he had a degenerative knee issue which started deteriorating as soon as he got to the NBA, and his short career makes more sense. But Harold Miner was one of the most exciting players during his short 4 year career, as his above the rim play was top notch, leading him to winning the 1993 and 1995 Slam Dunk Contests. He showed flashes, but could never keep it consistent, however, his circumstances were less than ideal, and maybe in another situation, we’d be talking about Harold Miner in a different light. Nonetheless, he handled all of the adversity with grace and walked away from the game in a better financial position than when he started. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/minerha01.html Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/genuine-colour/borrowed-perspective License code: KM6PUEOIEPBY9PST *Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Orlando Woolridge overcame adversity in a 13 year career which saw him look destined to be the next star of the Chicago Bulls until MIchael Jordan was drafted, then play an important bench role on some great Lakers teams after owning up and beating addiction. Additionally, he was one of the top players on the 1991 Denver Nuggets who are an anomaly of an NBA team. His career lasted 13 seasons and even though he was never even an all star, he averaged 20 or more points 4 times in his career and did so while utilizing his insane athleticism to dazzle fans. So, today Forgotten Player Profiles looks at the late, great Orlando Woolridge. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/woolror01.html Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/genuine-colour/borrowed-perspective License code: KM6PUEOIEPBY9PST *Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
