Coffee Talk Name that player!
The former two-time West Virginia All-American has been called the "biggest six-foot, three-inch player you'll ever see," by opponents who have tried to stop him. A top-flight scorer, who averaged 28 points a game in college, and just under 18 points a game in his freshman season in the NBA last year, Jerry also is a defensive stalwart and an outstanding rebounder. His sharp reflexes, quick hands, long arms and springy legs make up for the inches he lacks.
Although he's strong enough to mix it up inside, Davidson has a strong game fading away from the basket. Playing with his back to the basket, he can turn either way and hit the turnaround jumper.
Though Miami has struggled like the rest of the late-1980s expansion teams, the Heat became the first of that group to reach the NBA Playoffs with a 1992 berth. Another proud moment in franchise history came at the 1993 NBA All-Star Weekend when rookie guard Harold Miner emerged as the NBA Slam-Dunk Champion. DID YOU KNOW? The Heat had never beaten the Los Angeles Lakers - and the Lakers had never lost to a recent expansion team at the Forum - before Miami ended both streaks by sweeping the 1992-93 series 2-0. With an average age of 25.24 years in 1992-93, Miami is the youngest team in the NBA. SCORECARD. The most enigmatic game in team history came January 20, 1993, when after a season-high 70 first-half points, the Heat were held to a franchise low seven third-quarter points.
