I ran across this today, he is often referred to as the greatest player to never play in the NBA, his name is Oscar Schmidt, he was nicknamed the "Holy Hand" and he scored 49,737 points in his career. It should also be noted that Kobe Bryant idolized Oscar Schmidt.

It should also be noted that Oscar Schmidt idolized Larry Bird and believes Bird to be the GOAT.
Interesting read on this guy
Indeed, I figured it was something that might interest everyone while we wait on news about you know who.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I honestly don't remember hearing about him, and think that I would have remembered because of the Brazilian connection.
Any footage of him in the NBA camp? Pics?
I'm sorry for the late reply, I was testing out a new Colgate toothbrush. Yes, I searched for some footage of him in NBA preseason and came up empty, but I was able to obtain this photo of him shooting a free throw with the New Jersey Nets in practice. The photo is from his Facebook page and he says the photo is rare.
And apparently, Oscar Schmidt is a Tom Brady and Patriots fan. There are a couple of photos of him in a Brady jersey, both Patriots and Bucs.
And here he is in a Gronk jersey.
I like this...obvious excuse to mention Bird and Brady in a thread.
He actually has quite a few New England Patriots photos on his Facebook page, so he's obviously a Patriots fan. This is from his Facebook page.
And I got to post my bald Aaron Rodgers photo, so it's a win win situation!
Well, I guess I am an Oscar Schmidt fan!
I also had never heard of him
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
