Who is your most forgotten Cavalier

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Ron Anderson. 2nd round draft pick in I think '84. He was 26 years old as a rookie. Very unremarkable NBA career but his post NBA career is amazing for one reason. He played in France until he was 52 years old.

Some of those years after LBJ left were filled with so, so many bad players from top to bottom its hard to fathom.

But the worst player of the bunch (at least a guy who was more than a 10 day contract guy) and one of the worst players I've ever seen had to be Semih Erden.

What a terrible, terrible basketball player.
 
If you were a Cavs die hard in the late-80s into early 90s, you know the magic of injury replacement combo guard Steve Colter.


He was a backup guard in the mid 1980s with the nastiest crossover Isaiah Thomas ever saw. He played overseas for three seasons, then injuries hit the 1994/95 Cavs back court hard. Terrell Brandon, Mark Price, and John Battle were all hurt. Gerald Madkins was terrible. So Wayne Embry grabs Colter out of a barnstorming CBA league that would soon fold. He looked like he couldn't afford a decent meal in his time away from the NBA. This skinny dude way past his prime was still shaking NBA All Stars with his "crooked leg" crossover.

I should forget Steve Colter, but I won't forget Steve Colter. He was a pioneer of Kyrie's amazing bag of ball handling tricks.
I played city league pro/am ball against Stevie Colter back in Phoenix. He was a city legend from Phoenix Union HS along with Rudy White (Houston Rockets). In that same league we went up against Lewis Lloyd

It might have been someone else, but didn't Colter tip in the winning basket in the 1995 Double Overtime thriller against the Nuggets?

Two overtimes and the final score was 101-100.

The score after the first quarter was 15-10 Denver.

Fratello-Ball at its finest.
 
Chris Dudley.

A fellow Lake Oswegoan of Mr. Love.

And, a candidate for the most bizarre Wikipedia bio paragraph:

Alleged altercation[edit source]

In October 2018, it was reported that Dudley and current United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh were in a bar fight in September 1985,[35][36][37][38] which involved throwing ice and a drinking glass at a man whose physical appearance was allegedly similar to that of Ali Campbell of UB40.[39][40] Through an article published in The Guardian, Campbell wrote that whomever Dudley and Kavanaugh fought was not him, and that he was not at the bar that night.[39]
 
I was there from 90-95, then stuck around till 2001 bartending on campus, lol, My good friend is still the general manager at Harry's....so all these years later and I could still get a free drink on campus. Cant believe they closed Neon Cactus, McCaw's was my favorite before they moved everything down the levee to Cactus.
Harry's is always awesome! And I remember watching people bungie jumping in the parking lot of McCaw's.

You got the right guy, Chief!

Steve Colter, totally out of the NBA for three years and then suddenly given the keys to the black and teal offense for most of a season. Loved that dude.
