Michael Carter had an incredible 1984.  Drafted by the San Francisco 49ers after his college career at SMU concluded, Carter competed and won the Silver Medal in the shotput at the 1984 Olympics, and he was a backup Nose Tackle on a Niners team that won Super Bowl XIX.  This made Carter the first man to win an Olympic Medal and a Super Bowl in the same year.

Taken Third Overall by the Bulls in the 1967 Draft, Clem Haskins arrived in Chicago as an All-American and three-time OVC Player of the Year.

Bill Cartwright was an All-Star as a rookie for the New York Knicks in 1980, and that would be the only time he played in the mid-season classic.  The Center was with the Knicks until 1988 when he was traded to the Bulls, which would bring him his greatest team success in basketball.

Wilbur Holland had a unique basketball career, taken in the Fifth Round out of the University of New Orleans in 1975. The team that took him, Atlanta, waived him at seasons' end, and Holland received an opportunity with the Chicago Bulls.
