19. Kendall Gill

Kendall Gill, who is commonly known as KG, made his hometown proud when he turned pro.

Born in Chicago, Gill proved to be a very serviceable guard/forward during his 16-year career. It all started when he made his NBA debut with the Charlotte Hornets in November of 1990.

Gill’s game translated well when his services were later called upon by the New Jersey Nets, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat. He provided teams with quality, two-way ability that some could only dream of possessing. For one thing, Gill ranked among the top 20 in steals per game for seven seasons.

At the other end of the floor, Gill wasn’t the type of star to be snubbed, either. He ranked among the top 20 in points for two seasons.

Gill showed his value to many teams during his career, which is why he ranked in the top 20 for games played for four seasons. Not to forget to mention he was among the top 20 in minutes played during the 1996-1997 season.

Among some of Gill’s most esteemed accolades are an All-Rookie Team selection and the NCAA AP All-American award.

Gill has a 0.1% chance of getting inducted as a player into the Hall of Fame.

Currently, Gill works as a TV basketball analyst for NBC Sports Chicago. It is there he helps provide both pre-game and post-game coverage of the Bulls.
