Tyson
Chandler
One of the most highly touted
defensive centers in the league, NBA Champion and Olympic gold
medalist Tyson Chandler is an
exceptionally rare 7-footer who possesses both an inside and
outside game. He's a hybrid player who can run the floor, dominate
the paint and knock down jumpers. Now in his third year with the
New York Knicks, the 2012 NBA Defensive Player of the Year was the
second overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft, and quickly emerged as
the starting center for the Chicago Bulls. After four seasons
in the "Windy City," he went on to the New Orleans Hornets,
Charlotte Bobcats and Dallas Mavericks. His defensive presence and
leadership were lauded not only during the 2011 NBA Playoffs,
wherein his Mavericks team won the NBA Championship, but also as a
member of Team USA, which brought
home the gold medal from the 2012 Olympics in London. Spending much of his upbringing in
Compton, California, Chandler, who
led Dominquez High School to a state
championship his senior year, was twice named California's Mr. Basketball. For more
