From what we can tell, the origin of Sport Goofy took place in the 1940’s with a short film, and multiple appearances would see him have a regular tv show in the 1980’s. Essentially, Sport Goofy was not necessarily a good athlete but the message here is about sportsmanship and not really about winning. Does this fly here?

TV Show/Movie Appeared:
Multiple appearances in comics, television and film.

What did he ever win?
Roy Hinson played his first three years in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers where the former Atlantic 10 Player of the Year would have his best year in the NBA.  That was 1985/86, his third season where he averaged 19.6 Points per Game and a 17.6 PER, both career highs.  In the two seasons before, Hinson finished sixth in Blocks per Game.  The Forward’s overall average in Cleveland showed him average 13.6 Points, 7.2 Rebounds and 1.8 Blocks per Game.

Carlos Boozer would turn out to be a nice surprise as the 35th Overall Pick of the 2002 Draft had a nice rookie season averaging an even 10 Points per Game with a 17.0 PER while earning Second Team All-Rookie honors.  Boozer was poised to be the next great Power Forward in the NBA as in his second season he elevated his PER to 20.8 (16th overall) and averaged a double-double with 15.5 Points and 11.4 Rebounds per Game, the latter stat seeing him finish fifth in the league.

Bobby Phills was drafted in the 2nd Round of the Milwaukee Bucks in 1991, but he never made it to the NBA with them.  He would eventually latch on to Cleveland and worked his way into a permanent roster spot with the Cavs where he would be known for his ferocious defensive ability.  Phills (who Michael Jordan once called one of the toughest men to defend him) was a Second Team All-Defensive Selection in 1995/96, and he would average 10.5 Points per Game over his 334 games in Cleveland.
