This is a very interesting look at Shawn Bradley, his NBA career, and his accomplishments off the court. Shawn Bradley is 7' 6". He was selected second in the NBA draft after playing one year (setting a record for a Freshman in shot blocks) and then served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He did not live up to the hype, but he did enjoy a 12-year career in the NBA, and is number 16 on the all time blocks list. From his NBA career he became financially independent and has been able to provide a contribution to the world. He is currently employed at a school in Salt Lake for "troubled" youth.
