Shane Battier played 13 seasons in the NBA. He appeared in three NBA Finals, winning two of them.
He counted LeBron James, Yao Ming and Dwyane Wade, among others, as teammates. He battled in some of the most ferocious and finely played playoff series in history, was part of two of the four longest win streaks of all time and became the pioneer poster boy for the use of advanced stats to understand how basketball could and should be played.
And yet, when he ventures to certain places in the country and runs into random fans he is still known for just one thing.
