James McIlvaine (born July 30, 1972) is a retired American professional basketball player who spent seven seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Washington Bullets, Seattle SuperSonics, and New Jersey Nets. The 7-foot-1 shot-blocking specialist is perhaps best remembered for the fall-out that occurred after he signed with the Seattle SuperSonics in 1996. Must hear conversation. What a great storyteller he was every question I asked was a story. To his illustrious career playing along or against the great in the 90’s to why is career unfortunately ended due to injuries and of course David stern to end It
