Eric Anderson - Biography
Eric Walfred Anderson (born May 26, 1970) is a retired American basketball player. He attended St. Francis DeSales High School on Chicago's far southeast side and was named 1988's Mr. Basketball for the state of Illinois.
After his college career, the 6'9" forward, who was not selected in the 1992 NBA draft, signed with the New York Knicks for the 1992–93 NBA season, in which he played 16 games. He also played 11 games of the following season before being waived. He holds NBA career averages of 1.6 points and 1.1 rebounds per game, and was an all-time 2-for-2 from the three-point line.
In January 1994, while a member of the Knicks, Anderson and Harold Ellis of the Los Angeles Clippers got involved in a seemingly bizarre shoving match at Madison Square Garden. As the two players ran downcourt, Ellis threw a forearm for no apparent reason into Anderson's face. They exchanged shoves, and were both given technical fouls. Anderson later said of Ellis: "He was going crazy," and "I've never been involved in anything like that. I just got in the game. I'm a good guy. I have no idea why it happened."
