OFFICIAL NBA PLAYERS BORN IN WYOMING POWER RANKINGS
1. James Johnson. By far the Wyomingite with the longest…longevity in the league. Also the only modern NBA player from Wyoming – the rest of these guys are seriously old-school. This is like the most hipster power rankings ever because you’ve never heard of any of them.
2. Kenny Sailors. This guy didn’t invent the jumpshot, but he helped make it popular. In this sense, he is responsible for Justise Winslow being a bust. “Krunk Kenny” played for five years in the late 40’s/early 50’s and shot 33% from the field over his career, which was actually okay back then. [Another Justise Winslow reference here]
3. Vern Gardner. You can tell he sucked because his name is Vern. He played for the Philadelphia Warriors back before everybody was bandwagoning them. Like, way before.
4. Floyd Volker. When was the last time you met a guy named Floyd who was good at basketball? Exactly. When was the last time you met a 6’4″ center? Exactly.
5. Mike “The Bitch” Dabich. Played ten games in the ABA. He sounds made up.
6. John Pilch. Appeared in ten games for the Minneapolis Lakers. I bet George Mikan hated him. He went 1-of-10 from the field in his career. James Johnson would probably destroy Filthy Pilchy one-on-one even if he wasn’t dead.
