The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview NBA Legend Alton Lister.

•The 21st overall pick in the 1981 NBA Draft by Milwaukee Bucks. Wearing No. 53 his entire NBA career, the 7-0 center played 16 NBA seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks from 1981-86 and 1994-95, Seattle SuperSonics (1986-89), Golden State Warriors (1989-93), Boston Celtics (1996-1997) and the Portland Trail Blazers (1997-98). Played in 953 NBA games and notched 6,298 points, with a career-best 11.6 points per game while playing in 75 games for Seattle in 1986-87.

•One of just two Sun Devil basketball players (Joe Caldwell in Tokyo in 1964 was the other) to be selected for the United States Olympic team, but his 1980 squad boycotted the games.

•A starter on the ASU squad which posted one of the largest defeats of an Associated Press top-ranked team when it defeated unbeaten Oregon State 81-61 on March 7, 1981, in Corvallis on the final day of the regular season. The 1980-81 Sun Devils were ranked as high as third that season and his 9.7 rebounds per game was the best by a Sun Devil in a 27-year span (1978-2004).

•Inducted into the Arizona State Hall of Fame in 2000 after a tremendous career that saw his Sun Devil teams post records of 16-14 in 1978-79 (first year in the Pac-10), 22-7 in 1979-80 and 24-4 in 1980-81. In his final two years, ASU was 15-3 (1979-80) and 16-2 (1980-81) in the Pac-10, the top two Pac-10 win totals in school history.

•A two-year starter and three-year letterman who earned honorable mention All-America honors by Associated Press and Street & Smith's in 1980-81. Also earned All-Pac-10 honors in 1980-81 and 1979-80 (honorable mention) and was named Team Most Improved Player in 1980-81 as he averaged 15.4 points and 9.7 boards in his senior year.
