Antonio Harvey
Edit ProfileCareer
He was bypassed in the 1993 National Basketball Association draft. After playing over the summer 1993 with the Atlanta Eagles of the USBL, he signed as free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1993, for whom he started on opening night of the 1993-1994 season. In 1995, Harvey was in the National Basketball Association Slam Dunk Contest.
In the contest, he was famed for when he waited until the final seconds to do a 360 degree, free throw line dunk, but missed it, ending on 4th place.
This led to a surprised expression from Shaquille O"Neal. He played with five other National Basketball Association teams, as well as in Greece, Spain, Poland and Italy.
In April 2004, he was named the General Manager and Head Coach of the American Basketball Association"s Portland Reign. Harvey is now in radio broadcasting for the Portland Trail Blazers.
