Anyway, I thought it was interesting and strange and that I would pass it along.

Well, Vin played college ball in my neck of the woods. University of Hartford (my daughters alma mater), which I can assure you is NOT known for regularly pumping out basketball talent.
Vin was an exception and was a burgeoning superstar with the Bucks (your neck of the woods), before he was traded away in a convoluted three way trade involving Shawn Kemp. He had one very good season with Seattle at age 26 before injuries started taking their toll on him, and he was never really the same after that.
Coming from somebody who finally recycled hundreds of Mike Campbell Rookies that I had hoarded in the late 80's after becoming enamored with his 1st Round Draft status, 15-2 Record and 2.60 ERA at AAA Calgary, a couple moves ago........I understand the allure Vin Baker might have had for somebody looking for a cheap but promising dark horse to hoard cards of.
Brevin Knight, I have no idea. Fella must have thought he was promising.
