The Clippers took Olowokandi with the No. 1 pick of the 1998 NBA Draft; Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, and Paul Pierce also went in the top 10. The center spent nine years in the league as a decent rim protector but was absolutely hopeless on the offensive end, shooting 43.5 percent from the field on a strict diet of two-pointers. This picture is from his last stint in the league, in 2006-07. He’s been off the grid since then, but his ex-wife Suzie Ketcham starred in the VH1 reality series “Basketball Wives” from 2010 to 2013.
