33. Glen Rice
Glen Rice made his mark around the NBA over his 15 years spent in the Association, including three consecutive All-Star appearances with the Charlotte Hornets. After that, he headed to Los Angeles where he spent two seasons with the Lakers. Unfortunately he was injured for much of his first year with the team, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t able to make his mark on the organization as a part of the championship 1999-2000 team.
While Rice was largely a third scoring option for the team that led by Kobe and Shaq that would go on to win three straight titles, he was productive in that role that season and the injury-plagued season before. Over 107 career games with the Lakers, Rice averaged 16.3 points, four rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game while shooting a more than respectable 37.6 percent from long-range. His perimeter shooting was a huge asset for that title team as it only furthered their dangerous attack.
Rice’s brief stay with the franchise limits how high he could climb in these rankings, but he played an important enough role in the start of yet another dynasty in the team’s history to more than earn his spot in the top 35 on this list.
