Finley had a brilliant four-year career at UW and was selected 21st overall in the 1995 NBA draft, the first of the amigos off the board: Ford (Illinois Chicago) was taken five picks later and Boyce (Colorado) went in the second round. Finley played 15 seasons in the NBA, making two appearances in the All-Star Game and winning a title with the San Antonio Spurs as a role player in 2007. He’s been just as successful off the court and is now the assistant general manager/vice president of basketball operations for the Dallas Mavericks.
