When the New York Knicks parted ways with power forward Michael Sweetney in October of 2005, many fans buried him beneath a sea of bad memories. The former lottery pick spent just two seasons with the Knicks before he was included in the trade for Eddy Curry.
Although fans may have been quick to move on, Sweetney suffered dearly from his disastrous tenure with the Knicks.
Sweetney, now 34 years of age, hasn’t played an NBA game since 2007. His weight forced him out of the NBA and into an international basketball career that has taken him around the world, if not further from his original dream.
