Shawn Bradley…. “The Abused”
In my life I’ve seen only a couple of athlets get abused on a consistent basis, but none to the degree othe 7-6, 275lbs Shawn Bradley. The “Stormin Mormin” was drafted number two overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1993 and that’s when his career went potential “Star” to becoming “Mr. Posterized”.
Shawn’s abuse on the court showed no prejudice and no boundaries throughout his victimized career. Short people dunked on him, tall people dunked on him . In all those dunks at least he somewhat attempted to man up, but what Tracy McGrady did to him while throwing all of his junk up in Shawn’s face was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Although Shawn Bradley is a nice human-being, his on the court spineless play has built in me a disgusted distaste of him. The only question that remains in my mind is who has been abused more, Shawn Bradley by “brothas” in the NBA or Tina Turner by a brotha named Ike? This is sad yall…..
