Drafted: 12th by the Miami Heat (1992)
MJ hadn't reached his first NBA finals when Miner was labeled the "air apparent" at USC. Winning the Slam Dunk Contest his rookie year only fueled the fire. But after four seasons, Miner's career points total barely edges out Jordan's career offensive rebounds. Harold's last appearance was five scoreless minutes against, yup, da Bulls.
Marketing Jam: $14 million Nike deal.
Abbott's Take: "The fact that Harold Miner is even in this conversation is proof of how desperate people were for another Jordan."
