15. Michael Finley

Michael Finley, who is commonly known as Fin Dawg, made the most of his time when afforded the opportunity to play professional basketball for a living.

Some of Finley’s most esteemed accolades include two All-Star Team nods, one NBA championship title and an All-Rookie Team selection.

It all began in November of 1995, at which point Finley made his NBA debut with the Phoenix Suns. His career would span 17 seasons. Finley’s journey led to him play for several different teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs.

Finley proved to be quite a two-way player during the span of his career. He ranked among the top 20 in points for four seasons. Finley had two seasons among the top 20 in steals. In addition, he was the type of star that coaches could turn to play heavy minutes. Finley ranked among the top 20 in minutes per game for seven seasons.

Finley was born in Melrose Park, Illinois. He went to high school at Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois and attended college at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin.

Finley has a 1.5% chance of getting inducted as a player into the Hall of Fame.
