Parisian producer and Red Bull Music Academy alumni Onra will tour Australia in May/ June as as part of the free, monthly Red Bull Music Academy Club Night series.
We asked Onra to supply a Top 5 of his choice: “Because in sport, just like in music, it's not all about the champions, the most famous or who sells the most - eventually, they are all amazing athletes [artists]. Here's my Top 5 NBA players from the 1990s.”
1. Reggie Miller
He became my all-time favourite player once Michael Jordan first retired in 1993. Even though he's never won anything, his reputation as a trash-talker and clutch three-point shooter made me love his style.{youtube}rmme_HV1ccY{/youtube}
2. Dana Barros
Arguably the nicest player to ever get on the mic (check Dana Barros 'Check It'); I love his style of playing and he was super aggressive for his short size (1.80m).
3. Dale Ellis
His career started in the 1980s, but I only heard of him in the '90s because he was the first player to score 1,000 three-point shots. This was, and still is, my best skill as a player, that's why I've always looked up to this guy.
4. Mark Jackson
He was ill with the ball skills, always down to put on a show and throw no-look passes followed by his copyrighted jiggling dance moves. He's a preacher now! [Ed's note: Mark is also an sports TV analyst for ESPN]
5. Nick Van Exel
I remember he was a fan favourite as soon as he got in the league. He was real flashy and because he was left-handed; it looked real awkward at times.
