"Being a good actor isn't easy.
Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done."
-James Dean
In 1960,
during my first season with the NBA, I made history by receiving both "Rookie
of the Year" and "Most Valuable Player" honors.
I went on to play professional basketball for the next 13 years,
and true to my reputation as a gentleman, never fouled out of
a game. Who am I? answer
