Glen Rice began with an incredible college basketball career at the University of Michigan leading the team to the first and only NCAA Championship in program history. After this, he would be drafted 4th overall, by the Miami Heat in their second year of existence where he would be the first star in team history leading them to their first playoff appearances and winning season alongside guys like Rony Seikaly and Steve Smith. After the 1995 season, Pat Riley took over in Miami and his first move was a blockbuster trade that sent Rice to the Charlotte Hornets for Alonzo Mourning.
In Charlotte, Rice would have the best years of his career alongside guys like Larry Johnson, Anthony Mason and Vlade Divac, where in his three years, he would get 3 consecutive all star selections, and NBA all star game MVP, and two playoff appearances, while finishing 3rd in the league in scoring in 1997. During the lockour season in 1999, Rice would be involved in another blockbuster trade, when he was shipped to the powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers for Eddie Jones, where he would be paired with Shaquille O’neal and Kobe Bryant. And it would work as he helped bring a championship to the Lakers in 2000. The rest of Rice’s career saw him bounce around from the Knicks, to the Rockets, to the Clippers before calling it quits in 2004.
Rice would retire from the league as a top 5 3 point shooter of all time and finish his career with the 8th most points scored in the 90s, his game was ahead of his time and with some of the players getting inducted to the hall of fame, Glen Rice is someone who seems like they have the resume for such an honour, but only time will tell for G-Money, Glen Rice.
