I was never the same from the time I went down in Boston. It was like I couldn't play my game.
"Ralph Lee Sampson, Jr." is a retired American basketball player.
A 7-foot-4 phenom, three-time Naismith College Player of the Year/College Player of the Year, and List of first overall NBA draft picks/No. 1 pick in the 1983 NBA Draft, Sampson brought heavy expectations with him to the NBA.
The NBA Rookie of the Year Award/NBA Rookie of the Year, Sampson averaged 20.7 points and 10.9 rebounds for his first three seasons with the Houston Rockets before injuries began to take their toll. Three knee surgeries later he retired a four-time National Basketball Association All-Star Game/All-Star whose career highlight ended up being a buzzer-beating shot to dethrone the Los Angeles Lakers as Western Conference champions, derailing their hopes for coveted back-to-back NBA titles and sending the Rockets to their second NBA Finals in the team's history.
