Daron Oshay "Mookie" Blaylock (born March 20, 1967 in Garland, Texas) is an American former professional basketball player in the NBA.
A 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) push and pass point guard, he was rated among the better defensive stoppers in the game. The former University of Oklahoma star is most highly regarded for his quick hands and a ball hawking defensive style that produced more than 200 steals in a season four times and two NBA All-Defensive first-team selections. He was also a capable outside shooter, a fine passer who generally ranked among the league's assist leaders, and a durable instigator of the fast break. In 1988, he (along with Stacey King) led the Sooners to the NCAA title game, where they were defeated by the Kansas Jayhawks, who were led by Danny Manning and coached by Larry Brown.
Blaylock was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 12th overall pick of the 1989 NBA Draft and settled quickly into Nets' rotation. He was traded to the Atlanta Hawks prior to the 1992–93 season, where he flourished under newly-signed coach Lenny Wilkens. He finished off his career playing as a reserve for the Golden State Warriors.
