Notre Dame doesn’t exactly have a plethora of players in the NBA like the school does in the WNBA, but they’re still represented by one proud graduate as the NBA Finals get started this evening.
Chris Quinn, who played for Mike Brey’s Fighting Irish from 2002-06 and averaged over 17 points per game his senior season.
Quinn went on to play in the NBA for the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, New Jersey Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers from 2006-2013 and got into coaching after that.
Quinn joined the Miami Heat coaching staff in 2014 and will be on their bench as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2020 NBA Finals that start Wednesday night in Orlando.
For the heck of it let’s put it out on the record:
Heat in 7!
