    Tim Hardaway was a TV analyst for ESPN when they first started broadcasting NBA games. I think I read recently he's working with the Warriors or Heat in the front office.

    Terrell Brandon was one of my favorite players, I think he lives in Portland right now and is still running his business .. Tee Bee Enterprises.

    Glen Rice is probably off doing what ever his wife tell's him to do.

    Nothing greater than when Tim threw the monitor on the court. Ill try to find a pic. All of that bottled up frustration.

    Haha.

    Yeah I was a fan of Brandon as well, career was a lil short because of his injuries late in his career. Fit well with Garnett.

    Tim Hardaway: I last saw him with the Denver Nuggets...I just remember him throwing that TV monitor down the court, him getting suspended and most likely released the next season. So basically, he's retired. I loved him in his Heat days though, a great all around point guard. Too bad many of the younger fans have no idea who he is.

    Isiah Rider: The most recent thing I heard about him was him getting arrested for somehting. I think his last team was either the Lakers or the Hawks, can't remember.

    Wesley Person- I remember him being on the Heat during the 04-05' campaign...but I don't know what happened after that. Wait, was he on the Heat? I know he was on a team. Another solid player many people don't know about. I used to love his 3 point skills, great shooter. Him, Dale Ellis and Hershey Hawkins were always my favourite shooters from those old school NBA Live games (NBA Live 99 and such).

    Glen Rice- Faded into oblivion after winning the title with the Lakers. Got no clue about him...

    Travis Knight- Last seen with the Knicks. Don't know where he went, probably retired.

    Mookie- Last seen with the Hawks, probably just retired.

    Terell Brandon- Retired due to injury. I remember when he was with the Wolves, I always thought he was a great point guard with KG.

    tim hardaway did the espn thing and was terrible at it and then half way throug the season he signed with the indiana pacers and couldnt take it on his body anymore and retired after that season from what i hear... Isiah rider just got arrested like 2 weeks (this is not a joke)

    i have 2 players i just cant find out what happen to them....corey benjamin- he played for the bulls and then jumped around the leauge.last i saw he was in the nbdl and putting up big numbers, any one know what happen.. maybe overseas??

    and whatever happen to chris jackson( muhammed guy that played for lsu and denver nuggets)..i remember shaq said that he was the best player he had ever seen in his book.. i know he changed his name and then from there i think he played for the kings..he seemed to fall off the radar though

    other notables- the big center from lsu that came out before shaq and the magic got him and then shaq the next year i believe.i think his name was stanley roberts??, jon barry, hubert davis, harold jamison, ron mercer, britin johnson(the white guy that dunked on lebron in the summer league), detleff sherimif(last time i saw him he was doing celebrity basketball games; he played as the ex pro that all the celebrities gave it 2 to score)

    Heres one I've always wondered, Michael Dickerson. This guy was a bit of a beast for the Grizzlies from 1999-2001, then just fell off the face of the earth, I never heard what happened to him or anything and have always been curious as I always liked the guy. I'm guessing he has retired, but still interested to hear the official story of what happened to him.

    Dickerson's definitely one of the more underappreciated players of the late 90's. He was forced into retirement though because of a sport hernia condition that he battled through the last two season of his career. The Grizzlies cut him, clearing a roster space, but they had to pay his huge contract for two more seasons.

    He struggled playing with terrets syndrome (sp?) and was unable to keep the weight on once he became a Muslim. He went on a very strict diet and also fasted during Ramadan.

    Stanley Roberts could never get his weight under control to stay in the league.

    Hubert Davis is a TV analyst on ESPN now for NCAA hoops. He's actually one of the better ones.

    He got traded or signed by the Hornets, then he got traded to the Sixers for Glenn Robinson. After that season, he was a free agent and nobody picked him up. My guess is that he probably retired.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting thedude9990:</div><div class="quote_post">and keon clark</div>

    Last I heard he was in Sacramento. He was a decent player as well, but I think he had some problems with drugs or something.

    In the 2004-05 pre-season he had a brief stint with the Charlotte Bobcats but was not signed to a contract.

    He retired

    Stanley Roberts - As a member of the Rockets in 1998, he was kicked out of the NBA for drug violations.

    Ron Mercer - On August 15, 2005, prior to the 2005-06 season, Mercer was waived by the Nets to avoid the NBA's luxury tax as part of the new labor agreement. He did not play for any NBA teams during the 2005-06 season.

    Harold Jamison - Went to play in Europe

    Britin Johnson - Considering it was only a summer league game, he probably wasn't good enough to make it onto a roster.

    Hubert Davis - Davis is now a college basketball analyst for ESPN.

    For those wondering about Glen Rice, here's something I found that will answer your questions as to where he went after being a Laker:

    Traded by Lakers with Travis Knight and conditional 2001 1st-round pick to New York Knicks as part of four-team deal on September 20, 2000 (Lakers received Emanual Davis, Greg Foster, Horace Grant and Chuck Person from Seattle SuperSonics; New York also received Luc Longley and two 2nd-round picks from Phoenix Suns and Lazaro Borrell, Vernon Maxwell, Vladimir Stepania and conditional 2001 1st-round pick from Seattle; Phoenix received Chris Dudley, conditional 2001 1st-round pick and cash from New York; Seattle received Patrick Ewing from New York).

    Traded by New York to Houston Rockets as part of three-team deal on August 17, 2001 (Dallas Mavericks received Muggsy Bogues from New York; Houston also received draft rights to Kyle Hill and future considerations from Dallas; New York received Shandon Anderson from Houston and Howard Eisley from Dallas).

    Traded by Houston with draft considerations and cash to Utah Jazz for John Amaechi and future 2nd-round pick on September 30, 2003.
    Waived by Utah on October 3, 2003.

    Signed as free agent by Los Angeles Clippers on October 10, 2003.
    Waived by Clippers on January 13, 2004.

    Hardaway is currently a player/head coach of the Florida Pit Bulls of the ABA. Seriously guys, if you really take the time to look these things up, I'm 100% sure you will find all the answers.

    Glen Robinson?

    He played pretty well for the Spurs in 2005. But he wasn't picked up by a team last year. Did he retire, or was he looking for too much money?

    Don't know what happened to him. Like you said, he played pretty well with the Spurs and still has a nice stroke. I think he would do well coming off some team's bench and giving them a boost, but I'm pretty sure he's retired.
