Even if Sam Bowie would have been drafted after Michael Jordan, he would have been considered a major bust. In a day when big men ruled the NBA, Bowie didn’t stand out in the crowd. He averaged 10.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game over a 10-year career. It didn’t help that he had recurring leg injuries that prevented him from playing regularly and continuing his development as a player.

In retirement, Bowie returned to his native Kentucky, where he’s been raising a family and owning racehorses. He spends a lot of his time giving back to his community also.
