The first overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft, ahead of guys like Mike Bobby, Antawn Jamison, and Vince Carter, Michael Olowokandi is considered to be among the biggest NBA Draft busts in history. Olowokandi did play in the league for nearly a decade, but it was a very forgettable career. But since retiring from the NBA, Olowokandi has been completely “off the grid.”

There’s virtually no news reports or even blog updates on his whereabouts, other than the fact that he’s believed to live somewhere in California. The only thing a Google search turns up about him is an interview in 2011 when NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar described Olowokandi as “talented but uncoachable.”
