Chris Kaman

I thought I'd remind you guys that Chris "The Caveman" Kaman was an All-star in 2010, when he averaged 18 points per game. Truly magnificent.

Thank you for your time, have a great evening.

I went to the Dr this week for a vasectomy. I was wearing a Trail Blazers sweatshirt and the Dr asked me if I was a big fan. I said I was and he asked if I remembered when Chris Kaman played for the team. He said he went to high school with him back in Michigan at a small Christian school. He went on to say that Kaman tried to play soccer at his school and they put him as the goalie. After a couple games he had scored 4 own goals on their team from mis-kicks and he quit the team after that. I always find it fun hearing these types of stories about former players

Chris Kaman played 12 years in the NBA and during that time did some very odd things.

Kaman holds the record for the most 20 point games without ever having a 30 point game at 97 games. This includes a year during which he averaged 19ppg and was an all star. His only all star appearance.

That all star year is also a weird anomaly. Kaman was a solid player for most of his career, his career averages before becoming an all star were 10/8/2 in 6 seasons with only one season above 15ppg. The year before he was an all star he averaged 12ppg and the year after he averaged 12ppg again.

Kaman never had a season in which he averaged more than 9 rebounds or 1.5 blocks. That is except for 2008 when he averaged 13 rebounds and 3 blocks a game while playing 56 games(this was not his all star year).

Kaman was also a weird guy in real life. Before playing a game against the Charlotte Bobcats, Kaman posted of him holding a dead cat. He also tweeted about seeing Blake Griffin smack Justin Bieber. It was picked up by numerous news cites but it was completely false.

Edit: Also Kaman played for the German national Olympic team despite not being German

I decided to boot up some old 2K and did some fantasy draft association. There it was. Chris Kaman. I remember seeing him in NBA Live Mobile as well. What happened to him? Is he chilling somewhere drinking some chill luxury drink?
