    "Today is "Biggest Disappointment Day" throughout the family of NBA blogs at SB Nation (#NBABust on Twitter if you want to follow the other blogs).

    In addition to having the dubious honor of sharing the same name as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassin, Ray rewarded the Nuggets selection of him with three forgettable seasons during which he appeared in just 103 games and averaged 3.2 ppg on 42.8% shooting.
