The 33 year old 6 ft 11 forward center has had a long career in the NBA, which started in 1996, when he was drafted in the first round and was the 17th overall pick. He was picked by the Portland Trail Blazers, and played with them for 4 seasons, until 2000. Then he moved on to the Indiana Pacers, where he played for 8 consecutive seasons. He then moved up north, playing for the Toronto Raptors for a season, before returning to the NBA to the Miami Heat (2009-2010) and the Boston Celtics (2010-2012). He has now signed a one year contract with the Phoenix Suns, and team officials say that they’re looking forward to his contributions on the field.
