The first time I remember seeing Darrell Armstrong was a brief mention in a late-season game. The broadcast showed him briefly on the bench to note his signing and then turned back to the far more important task at hand.
Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee Hardaway were finishing off a masterful season as the top seed in the Eastern Conference and the first division title in franchise history. The NBA Finals were in their future.
Darrell Armstrong was signed April 8 with just eight games remaining that season. He would play in only three games that season and was left off the playoff active roster.
