Clippers on 4/14/97 * Became the first player in NBA history to record double-figure blocks in consecutive games on two separate occasions (3/14 and 3/16/96, 4/17 and 4/19/96) * Set a Philadelphia 76ers' franchise-record in 1994-95 for most blocked shots in a season (274) * Named to the 1993-94 NBA All-Rookie Second Team after averaging 10.3 ppg, 6.2 rpg and 3.00 bpg * Participated in the Schick Rookie Game during the 1994 NBA All-Star Weekend in Minneapolis.

Even if we leave off his on-going association with FullTilt and ESPN, the guy's accomplished. Shawn Bradley of poker? Well, that’s unfair.
