1988-89 Fleer #58 Chuck Person
About Chuck Person
Nicknamed "the Rifleman" because he was named after Chuck Connors, star of the TV western — a handle his three-point stroke made prophetic — Chuck Person left Auburn as the Tigers' all-time leading scorer with 2,311 points, playing alongside Charles Barkley. The Indiana Pacers took him fourth overall in the 1986 NBA Draft, and he delivered immediately, winning 1987 NBA Rookie of the Year. This card catches the 6-8 forward at his peak: 1988-89 brought a career-best 21.6 points per game. His signature stand came in the 1991 playoffs, trading haymakers with Larry Bird and pouring in 39 at Boston Garden. After six Pacers seasons he moved on to Minnesota, San Antonio — where his 190 threes in 1995-96 stood as a Spurs record for almost two decades — Charlotte, and Seattle, retiring with 13,858 points over 943 games. Not a rookie card, but a prime-years Fleer of one of the era's great gunners.
