Richardson is one of the high-flyers of the game, but is also one of its more prolific scorers when healthy. Aside from being able to put the ball in the basket, he rebounds very well for a guard, and became one of Golden State's more beloved players. J-Rich makes a new start with the Charlotte Bobcats, hoping to bring some of that West Coast flavor to the East.
