Chris Mills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher Lemonte Mills (born on January 25, 1970 in Los Angeles, California) is a former professional basketball player.
Mills graduated from University of Arizona, having transferred there from the University of Kentucky after the 1988-1989 season, after being the center of a major scandal involving receiving improper payments from coach Eddie Sutton.
He was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the 22nd overall pick in the 1993 NBA Draft. Mills since played for the New York Knicks and the Golden State Warriors. He was a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks but never actually played a game for any of them. He was a solid defender on the wing and a decent shooter capable of getting on a hot streak when he gets aggressive. Mills had had problems with his health and wasn't a stellar athlete. He was a solid back-up off of the bench, but considered not to have the skill level to start or contribute consistently.
Mills is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans. [1]
