I cant remember how his career ended. Did he just retire from the Jazz?, was he traded away?, Did he retire early? I remember him having a somewhat short career.

The Jazz waived him. Much of his game was based on his athletic ability and it went away quickly.

Then you really don't know him. He had one of the sweetest jump shots in the game.
The rainbow arc was a thing of beauty.

He used his athletic ability to elevate on his jumpshot too. When he was at Lousiville he shot over a double team at half court and buride the shot. He was one of the highest jumping jump shooters ever.

Did he fall out of the rafters or something? Wow! My 12 inch vertical leap just had a heart attack!

I just gained 4 inches on my vertical if you know what I mean.

Jazz released him from his contract at his request. Wasn't getting the p.t. he wanted at the end, and wished to find another team. He and LHM both cried at the press conference. I don't recall where he went after the Jazz, but at that point his career was pretty much done. Just a wonderful player to watch in his short prime, one of my all time faves.
