The 14 cars using Michelin tires withdrew from the 2005 USA Grand Prix at Indianapolis after the formation lap, and all six cars which contested the race finished, with points. All 24 cars completed the 2011 European Grand Prix at Valencia.

Who am I?
I was the 7th pick in the 1984 NBA Draft.
I hold the NBA records for most Steals per game played, and I am the only NBA player to have had a season with 300 or more Steals.
I am one of four NBA players, and the only non-Center, to have recorded a quadruple double, (20 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals) against the Phoenix Suns on February 18, 1986.
I scored the first ever points for the Toronto Raptors, on a 3 Point field goal.

My number was retired by two NBA teams.
*The Cincinnati Royal used a Territorial Pick to select Tom Thacker of the University of Cincinnati first.

As a Junior, I led my team to the NCAA Championship game.
I am one of the five NCAA Division I players to have averaged at least 20 points and 20 rebounds per game, and my career average of 22.7 rebounds per game is still the highest in NCAA Division I history.
I was an 11 time All-Star, a one time MVP, a Rookie of the Year, a League Champion and an All-Star Game MVP, when my NBA and ABA statistics are combined.
I led my League in Field Goal Percentage 6 times, (twice each, for three different teams), including 4 consecutive seasons in the NBA.
My 'fro from the prime years of my career is legendary:
