Those of us with a runaway case of gray hair (or, alas, little to no hair) have fond memories of Mitch Richmond in Ahearn Fieldhouse from 1986 through 1988. As part of its “100 days of Kansas City Area Olympians” series, KSHB featured the smooth swingman. He was probably better than you knew.
Richmond averaged 20.7 points, six rebounds and three assists in his two years at K-State, leading the Wildcats to the Elite-8 in his final year. He went on to average 21.0 points per game over a 14-year NBA career. That average ranks 44th all time.
