Bedford, a 7"0" center, played for the Suns, Detroit Pistons and the San Antonio Spurs in six National Basketball Association seasons averaging 4.1 points and 2.4 rebounds per game in his career. Originally projected as a star player, Bedford"s National Basketball Association career was a disappointment as he succumbed to drug use, never reaching his full potential. Bedford has had drug problems ever since he left the National Basketball Association. He was arrested for drug possession twice between 1996 and 1997.
In 2001, Bedford was accused of transporting 25 pounds of marijuana in Michigan.
After the Michigan arrest, he was arrested two more times for marijuana, and in 2003 was given a 10-year prison sentence. Bedford was released from prison in November 2011.
As of 2012, he was coaching basketball in Memphis.
