Michael Olowokandi Turns 45 Today

Michael Olowokandi (born 3 April 1975) is a British-Nigerian former professional basketball player. Born in Lagos, Nigeria and raised in London, he attended college on a basketball scholarship at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and was the number one pick in the 1998 NBA draft, where he was selected as a center by the Los Angeles Clippers. He played professionally until 2007, when he was forced to retire due to severe hernia and knee injuries.

Meen this guy was highly rated when he was first drafted in the 1990s. Everyone was tipping him to become the next big thing in basketball. This is someone who was once rated alongside the late Kobe Bryant back then.

They called him The Kandi Man, but unfortunately he never lived up to the hype and never fulfilled his potential. cry

He went no.1 in thatvyear's draft. Some say if not for injuries he would have lived up to expectation.
