Former Bulldog & FCC Ram Rafer Alston highlighted in new film

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Rafer Alston played just one season at Fresno State (also played one season at Fresno City College) before an 11-year career in the NBA. He was the first former Bulldog to play in the NBA Finals when his Orlando Magic was swept by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009. Prior to his time in the Valley, he was a streetball legend, growing his fame on the courts of New York City.

His trademark skip dribble bringing the ball up court earned him the nickname, "Skip to My Lou".

Rafer Alston played just 1 season at Fresno State before an 11 year career in the NBA. I caught up with the director of "The Greatest Mixtape Ever", a new @30for30 that highlights his streetball origins.
