Sean Elliott​

Sean Elliott played 12 seasons in the National Basketball Association, 11 of those with the San Antonio Spurs where he is still a household name among fans. He was a first-round draft pick in 1989 and played in 742 NBA games before he retired in 2001.​

He was a member of the Spurs first NBA championship team in 1999 and will be remembered for his Memorial Day Miracle, a three-point game-winning shot against Portland in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Following that season, he revealed that he had been playing with a progressively debilitating kidney disease. He received a kidney from his brother and seven months later became the first pro athlete to return to active play after an organ transplant.​

Elliott is the only player in Spurs history to rank in the team’s top ten in games played (third with 669), points (fourth with 9659), rebounds (sixth with 2941), assists (seventh with 1,700), steals (eighth with 522) and blocks (ninth with 257). He was also the Spurs’ record holder in three-pointers, with 563, until recently. His NBA regular season averages were 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He was twice selected to the NBA All-Star Team, in 1993 and 1996, and his number 32 jersey was retired by the Spurs in 2005.​
