Shawn Bradley was not the worst white player in the NBA. Not even close. It's a shame the way he's remembered because he was quite good.
Check this blog out- it even has a hilarious video of Shawn "The Praying Mantis" Bradley getting facials twice in less than a minute.

At least Bradley has finally made it to number 1 on a basketball-related list.

Tim Kempton pretty much has anyone beat.
I emailed Tom Tolbert. Wonder if he'll respond.
I'm guessing they're not speaking statistically as he was actually pretty average.
But the amount of times he was dunked on and beat up is unforgettable.![]()
Statistically speaking he's one of the best shot-blockers ever. If I did a blocked shots/seasons played average, he'd be around top-8.
I don't have time right now, but if you care enough, I'll do it for him and all those in front of him on the career totals later.
He had some very solid seasons and if he was playing back in the 1980's when centers were literally allowed to stand in front of the basket without lane consequenses, he'd probably have upwards of 3500 blocks, even in his shorter of careers.
it's sad to say but I would venture even without looking at the list that most played for the Mavs...Uwe Blab, Chris Anstey(Nellie's proclaimed best running big man in the NBA), Bill Garnett...the list goes on and on(Bradley wasn't too bad-though he holds the record for being posterized)
