gold star for USAHOF

41. Spud Webb

At 5'7”, Spud Webb was not supposed to make the NBA, let alone make a significant mark in it.  Webb was picked off waivers after being drafted in the 4th Round (by Detroit) out of a State Wolfpack, and with his size and energy, the North Carol was an instant favorite amongst the Hawks fans.  He was mainly used off the bench until his final year in Atlanta (in his first run) when he became a starter and averaged 13.4 Points per Game.
