Mash had a pretty solid career, better than most of his college peers (*cough*Laettner*cough*). I wonder why it took him so long to officially retire. NBA teams have paid salaries to retired players.

He's going to go down as one of the game's most overrated players, but that's mostly a function of the odd free agency marketplace, where solid players get top dollar -- and are suddenly "overpaid."
