gold star for USAHOF

36. Jim Fox
Jim Fox was a journeyman for sure.  He began his professional career with Real Madrid in the Spanish League, following it with stints in R.C. Mechelen (Belgium), Cincinnati, Detroit, Phoenix, Chicago (Cincinnati again) before he got to Seattle.  He would spend three seasons with the Sonics and while he bounced around as much as a basketball, his first season in Seattle saw him average a double-double and almost did so again in his second season.  To this day, Jim Fox still holds the franchise record for rebounds in a game with 30.  The journeyman would finish his career with Milwaukee and New York.
