he is also one bad ass DJ/producer. He, along with the neptunes, were on every track in the early to mid 2000s
As much as these guys lie about their height, they do tend to lie about their weight respectively. I know Davis was not 289lbs ever.
Greatest nickname evah John "Hot Plate" Williams... a play on the name of the other John Williams in the NBA at the time, who was known as John "Hot Rod" Williams.
Thomas "Two Sandwiches" Hamilton. My Grandma just called him "Fat Boy". He was brought in to be a Shaq stopper because of his girth. He was taller than Shaq and way heavier. I think he was listed at 7'3 375 lbs. - was probably heavier. Was totally out of shape. Like too fat to be functional on the court. I remember Mourning just dribbled around him over and over again. He also played QB in high school and could totally palm the ball, so he could laser it to people when throwing it in - OT style.
http://www.celticslife.com/2015/08/what-hell-happened-tothomas-hamilton.html Excerpts: He weighed 400 pounds and left everyone shaking their head. he was a 7-footer who could shoot threes from the corner. "I've been told by some in the NBA his skill level is close to that of Shaquille O'Neal's. I haven't seen that. Shaquille O'Neal is very self-motivated. Thomas Hamilton has unbelievable skills. He has one of the softest touches for a big man I've ever seen, unbelievable hands, shooting range similar to (Portland's Arvydas) Sabonis. The question for Thomas is whether he wants it or not, whether he wants to pay the price." His only other actual performance in the NBA came during the 1999-00 season when he played 22 games with the Rockets. In Houston, he started 7 of those games and seemed to be given every opportunity by coach Rudy Tomjanovich to turn the corner. Until this: In a peculiar exchange with his coach after the team had lost its seventh straight road game in Sacramento, Hamilton reportedly dared Tomjanovich to cut him. Hamilton, 24, had been upset over diminished playing time in recent weeks, and even initially refused to go into Tuesday's game with four minutes left until Tomjanovich all but kicked him off the bench and onto the court. Once in the game, by all accounts, Hamilton displayed little interest. According to the Houston Chronicle, Tomjanovich called a timeout and asked him, ``Do you want to play?'' Getting no response from Hamilton, he said, ``I asked you a question.'' After the game, faced with the possibility he would be released, Hamilton said to Tomjanovich in front of stunned teammates, ``Do what you have to do.'' Rudy T waived him. Count former Rockets' forward (and Brad Lohaus-lookalike) Matt Bullard as having a similar opinion, after the Rockets waived him: ``It's too bad he chose to do that. He's got some skills we can use. But if (he's) not with the team mentally, you can't have that kind of player around. He had a great situation if he worked hard. It's just weird -- one of the strangest situations I've ever seen. Today, Thomas' son Tommy Hamilton Jr is a star at DePaul, was great friends with Jabari Parker growing up and will likely get drafted and play in the NBA himself. However Thomas Sr played no role in his sons' upbringing. As for Thomas Sr? The latest information gathered on him is that he's a bouncer at a club in Chicago. And this is where this WTHHT gets fun!
Lol good I was starting to think I just dreamed my dad saying that back in the day. I think he called him "tank" or something?
