Christian Laettner

Christian Donald Laettner (born August 17, 1969 in Angola, New York) is a professional basketball player with the NBA. He has played for five different teams in the NBA, and he was a member of the Dream Team of the 1992 Summer Olympics. He was a member of the 1991 and 1992 NCAA champions, the Duke University Blue Devils.

Professional Career

Laettner was a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Atlanta Hawks, the Detroit Pistons, the Dallas Mavericks, Washington Wizards, Golden State Warriors (though he never played a game for them), and currently the Miami Heat in the NBA. Although he was an All Star in 1997, many believe Laettner has not lived up to the high expectations placed on him when he came out of college. Currently he is a reserve center/forward with the Heat, often substituting for starting center Shaquille O'Neal.
