Shawn Bradley paralyzed after he was struck from behind by an automobile
#15
Really sad stuff.  Seems like criminal neglect on the driver's part .. .how do you miss a 7'6" guy on a bike?  

Yeah, he was a really high level shot blocker.   Just just a big tall guy who would stand with his arms raised, he would actively track the ball handler down.  Really think so much of the anti-Bradley stuff was just him being maybe ahead of his time.   Even though he never developed a 3 point shot,  like all centers of the time,  Nellie often played him outside the 3 point out to clear out space on offense and it drove people crazy because that's not what a center was "supposed to do".    He had a pretty nice shooting touch.  He was shooting free throws in the 75-80+% by the 2nd half of his career.  Wonder if he would have developed a 3 point shot if he played in today's era.
