At a Glance
- One of the greatest defenders and shot-blockers in TMBSL history, peaking at 3.8 blocks per game in his third season and recording 6 seasons of 3+ blocks per game and 12 seasons of 2+ blocks per game; only had 1 season below 1.8 per game and his lowest total was 1.6 per game in his final season when he averaged only 29 minutes per game with the Bullets
- Two-time DPOY and three-time member of the All-Defensive 1st Team
- While initially a weak rebounder and inefficient scorer, he grew in these aspects throughout his career and recorded several seasons around 12 rebounds per game and had 5 consecutive seasons above 50% from the field with the Bullets late in his career
- Retired just a hair short of 100 total win shares at 99.6 career wins; lifetime average of .128 WS/48
- 1st all-time in career blocks with 3220 total blocks, one of only 3 players (with Zion and Simi) to eclipse 3000 career blocks
