    Oh no.

    He played in China in 2004. Because Chinese league limits foreigners, whenever a foreigner gets injured, a team will immediately sign a replacement with a semi-decent resume, without really trying him out - in his case, they didn't discover he was too out of shape to play until he got to China. And when he first came, he couldn't fit into any of the team jerseys so they had to insert him in a white practice jersey the first game. I think he was cut after 4 games or so and averaged more assists than points + rebounds.

    This was the only surviving photo of the Chinese stint, which aptly summarized his (and the team's) experience:

    Yeah, Hamilton and Oliver Miller were the two that came to mind for me. Barkley played with both of them, which must have been nice for a guy that got stuck with nicknames like Bread Truck, Food World, and The Round Mound of Rebound.

    Sim Bhullar is freaking awesome in 2k16. Bronze center (69), 7'4 with 90 block rating. So OP.
