Randolph Childress’s college basketball legacy rest on one game and what a game it was. Childress averaged 18.4 points per game with accurate and deadly three point shooting for his career. But one game in 1995 defined his legacy at Wake Forrest, which goes down in history as one of the most outstanding ACC tournament performances of all time. Childress led Wake Forrest to the ACC title averaging 35.7 points and 7 assist per game in the process. Playing against a North Carolina team featuring Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace in the tournament finals, Childress was by far the best player on the court, scoring an incredible 37 points and 7 assist, mostly three pointers with hands in his face; capping it off with a game winning jumper with seven seconds left. It was an electrifying college basketball performance, that gave Childress a gunslinger persona. It will go down in history as one of the great collegiate performances of all time.
Childress currently plays in Italy for LegADue team Pepsi Juvecaserta
