Sleestak became NBA star

[lefty]

One of the most memorable creatures of the show were the lizard-like humanoids called Sleestaks. The scaly green bad guys seemed to be everywhere, but due to the show's budget, only three costumes were ever made. In comparison, the movie had 30 Sleestak suits. The actors inside the suits had to be tall and slender, and one of the early Sleestaks was future Detroit Pistons All-Star Bill Laimbeer, who worked on the show while he was still in high school.

I'm pretty sure David Greenwood was another of the original Sleestaks.

I'm pretty sure Chauncey Billups and Sam Cassell and Charlie Villanueva are all sorts of Sleestak.
