- First NBA player to break a backboard
- First player to sue a rival team for inflicting an injury
- First player sued because of a dog bite
- First player suspended for biting another player

In March 2002, Qyntel Woods was stopped by police for speeding. As he rolled down the window of his Cadillac Escalade, marijuana fumes poured out.
The police searched the vehicle and found a small amount of grass. When the Trail Blazers rookie was asked for his driver's license and proof of insurance, he had neither. Instead, he handed the officers his basketball card as identification.
I just had to post the snippet about basketball card part......
