Shawn Bradley was an NBA mainstay for 12 years. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 1993 NBA Draft spent most of his professional basketball career with the Dallas Mavericks, playing 582 games with the team over nine seasons.
Bradley had been enjoying retirement until his life tragically changed in January 2021. He was riding his bike close to his home in St. George, Utah when a driver violently struck him from behind. The wreck gave him a traumatic spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed.
Doctors consider him a quadriplegic medically.
