In the 1990–91 NBA season, Derrick Coleman received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, a distinction that marked the arrival of a player who had traveled from high school courts to one of professional basketball's highest individual honors.

Born on June 21, 1967, in Mobile, Coleman grew up to attend Northern High School before going on to Syracuse University, where he developed his game at the collegiate level. A citizen of the United States, he carried that formation into a professional basketball career that earned him recognition at its outset. The Rookie of the Year Award remains the most concrete measure the available record offers of how his entry into the league was received by those who watched him play.

Quotes by Derrick Coleman
