Below are the most notable NBA players born on Nov. 14.
Jack Sikma (1955): Sikma, also known as “Goldilocks” for his blond hair, was one of the best big men of his generation. Sikma was selected eighth overall in the 1977 NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics and spent his first nine seasons with that organization. He finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting in his debut campaign and made seven straight All-Star appearances following that. Sikma ranks at the top of almost every Seattle franchise record, averaging 16.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks and claiming one NBA title (1979) during his SuperSonics career. The big man closed his career with five years in Milwaukee and retired in 1991. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
David Wesley (1970): Wesley carved out a strong 14-year career. It all started when the New Jersey Nets signed him as an undrafted free agent in 1993. He was then signed by the Boston Celtics the following year and broke out in his final season (1996) with the franchise averaging 16.8 points per game. He played the next eight seasons with the Hornets, putting up 14.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He closed out his career by playing for the Houston Rockets and then retiring with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2007.
