Ray Allen! The moved cities gave it away. Drafed in the 1990s and moved cities left only Seattle, New Orleans and Memphis and neither of the latter two were known for sharpshooting.

You got it! It was Walter Ray Allen Jr. 

OK, here's another easy NBA one.

"I scored the first point in the year 2000, and I was also the first NBA player to do something- even though most people credit the 2nd as the trailblazer. Who am I?"

John Amechi.  I think the main reason Jason Collins was considered the trailblazer was because he was still active when he came out, where as Amaechi was retired.

Correct! Now you pose a question, it's just been me and Shannon lately...

Okay, this will be a baseball one.  During my career I played for four different teams, two each in the National and American leagues.  I played in 3 All-Star games, and led the league I was in, in doubles, triples and stolen bases at least once.  I have won 5 Gold Glove awards, which means only two other players from my primary team (the team I won all 5 with) have more.

Andy Van Slyke?

Yup.  He's still my favorite player of all time.  I was super stoked when my local team (the Mariners) hired him as a coach.  Unfortunately that only lasted 2 seasons, and I didn't get a chance to go see any games while he was with them.

I tried to look this one up, but no one who won 5 GGs fit the bill of playing with 2 teams in each league - including Van Slyke. Sorry, he played with 4 teams, that's true, but St Louis, Pittsburgh, and Phila are all NL teams, and he only played the one partial season with Baltimore.

Sharks were the catalyst that sparked my path to a legendary NBA career.  Who am I?
