Everyone is San Antonio knows the legend of Sean Elliott. The man behind The Memorial Day Miracle is one of ten former players to have his number retired by the Spurs organization.
He is also a member of the Spurs 1999 NBA Championship, his “miracle” shot often considered the turning point where the team knew the path to their destiny was paved.
The Arizona Wildcat was drafted third overall in 1989, but what fans may not know (at least, I didn’t) was that Elliott didn’t complete his degree before entering the draft.
Despite spending four years in college, #32 was shy 27 hours to his degree.
