The '93 McDonald's All American MVP. A '95 Final Four run with the North Carolina Tar Heels as a sophomore. Third pick overall in '95, then a spot on the NBA's '96 All-Rookie First Team. Jerry Stackhouse made the cover of SLAM 49 in in March of '01. That cover almost never existed.
Everything Stackhouse kept flashing in high school, in college and through the early NBA years came close to going unfulfilled.
Philly thought it had a cornerstone; his stay there lasted two-plus seasons. He admits he was "winging it" in those days, a headstrong kid who wasn't ready to hear that he had plenty to learn. Then came Detroit, and a bad reputation he had to shake. The assumption was that the Pistons were adding a cocky two-guard bound to clash with Grant Hill. Wrong assumption. Stack averaged a then-career-best 23 points per game in his first Motor City season, deferred to Hill and helped Detroit reach the postseason. When Hill left that summer, Stackhouse inherited a superstar-sized vacancy. He took it gladly.
His second Detroit season stands as his best as a pro. Stack led the League in total points scored and ranked second in points per game at 29.8 ppg, earned an All-Star selection and showed everyone he'd matured. Issue 49's cover art hits like a primal scream you can hear through the paper: "STACK WON'T QUIT."
True to the words, he didn't. A rocky beginning gave way to 18 total seasons as a player and 11 seasons and counting on the bench as a coach, and it all traces back to what he built in Detroit.
