Tyson Patterson (born September 17, 1978) is an American former professional basketball player. He is 5’9″, weighs 165 pounds and played the point guard position. Patterson played college basketball at Appalachian State University (ASU) between 1996–97 and 1999–2000. Through the 2011–12 season he still holds school records for assists in a game (14), season (218), and career (638), steals in a season (87), and field goal percentage in a game (100%, 12-for-12 shooting).

Playing career

College

After graduating from East Forsyth High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Patterson enrolled at ASU to play for the Mountaineers. In his first season, ASU finished with a 14–14 overall record and a third-place finish in the Southern Conference’s (SoCon) North Division. During his final three seasons, however, Patterson was the leader in what ASU calls “perhaps the finest four-year span in [their] hardwood history.” Between 1998 and 2000, the Mountaineers rattled off three consecutive North Division titles, made it to the SoCon Tournament championship game every season (winning it in 2000, thereby earning their school’s second-ever NCAA Tournament bid), and compiled a three-year win-loss record of 65–25 (39–8 SoCon). Patterson led ASU in both assists and steals in each of his final three years, was a three-time All-SoCon Tournament Team selection, a two-time First Team All-SoCon (regular season) selection, and as a senior was named the SoCon Tournament MVP as well as the conference player of the year. In 2009, Patterson was inducted into the Appalachian State Hall of Fame.

Professional

As an undersized guard coming from a mid-major basketball program, no National Basketball Association (NBA) teams selected him in the 2000 NBA Draft. Patterson carved out a professional career and semi-professional career that took him to leagues all over the world as well as in the United States. Other than the United States, he has played for clubs in Belgium, Finland, France, Iceland, Mexico, Switzerland and Venezuela. Some of his highlights include leading Finland’s Korisliiga in assists per game (5.2) in 2007–08, winning France’s LNB Pro B championship in 2004–05, and also being named LNB Pro B’s “Foreign Players’ MVP” that same season.

Christopher Knight Net Worth: Christopher Knight is an American actor who has a net worth of $10 million dollars. Christopher Knight is most widely recognized for his work as Peter Brady on the hugely successful 70’s sitcom, “The Brady Bunch”. He took time away from television for a number of years and focused on business pursuits, but returned to television in the early 2000’s with appearances on various reality shows, including his own successful show, “My Fair Brady”. He was born Christopher Anton Knight on November 7, 1957, in Manhattan, New York City, NY. He was only three years old when his family moved to Los Angeles where his father, an actor, sought auditions for his two sons as a means of saving money for their college education. Even though both Christopher and his older brother Mark tried out, only Christopher got parts. By the time he turned seven, he had already appeared in commercials for leading companies such as Toyota, Tide, and Cheerios. He also landed roles in TV shows like Gunsmoke and Mannix. It was in 1969 when Christopher landed the role that would become one of the most successful television shows of all time, The Brady Bunch. He won the role thanks to his dark looks that matched that of Robert Reed, who he was cast as the show’s father. Christopher won the part of the middle brother, Peter Brady. The show aired 117 episodes in the period from September 1969 through August 1974. Business Career: In 1988, more than a decade after The Brady Bunch ended, Christopher entered the computer industry with a job as a sales manager for a tech company. He reportedly landed the company’s first $1 million deal within his first year on the job. He was named company Vice President of Martel, Inc, in 1989. In 1991 Knight co-founded a company called Visual Software which would later develop pioneering 3d graphics programs. In 1995 he founded Kidwise Learningware. He joined several other companies over the years, notably iXMicro where he served as Vice President of Marketing. In 1998 he founded his second company Eskape Labs which was acquired in 2000 by Hauppauge Computer Works.
