dbpprop:abstract
  • Bryant Reeves is a retired American professional basketball player for the NBA's Vancouver Grizzlies. He was nicknamed Big Country by his college teammate Byron Houston after Reeves was amazed following his first airplane flight across the United States. Standing 7 feet tall and weighing 275 pounds (2.13 m, 125 kg), Reeves was an imposing physical presence on the court and was primed to become a dominant center in the NBA. After a strong collegiate career with Oklahoma State University, where he averaged 21.5 points per game as a senior and led OSU to the 1995 Final Four, Reeves became the Grizzlies' first-ever draft choice, selected sixth overall in the 1995 NBA Draft. Reeves played six seasons with the Grizzlies. After averaging 13.3 points per game in a solid rookie season, he averaged 16.2 points per game in 1997 and was subsequently awarded with a six-year, $61.8 million contract extension. The next season, 1997-98, was his best, when he averaged 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.08 blocked shots per game. During that season, he scored a career-high 41 points against the Boston Celtics. After 1998, weight-control problems and injuries began to take a toll on Reeves, and his numbers fell off dramatically. He was still starting at center for the Grizzlies, but his minutes per game dropped, and his field goal percentage dropped significantly. Eventually, after the Grizzlies moved to Memphis, Tennessee, in 2001, Reeves started the season on the injured list due to chronic back pain and was never able to play another game (the only games he played with the team in Memphis were two preseason games). He retired from the league midway through the 2001-2002 season.

Il inscrit 13,3 points par match lors de sa saison rookie, puis 16,2 points en 1996-1997 et signe dans la foulée un contrat de 61 millions de dollars. La saison suivante est la meilleure de sa carrière avec 16,3 points, 7,9 rebonds et 1,08 contre. Après 1998, des problèmes de poids et des blessures freinent sa carrière. Il demeure pivot titulaire des Grizzlies, mais son temps de jeu diminue, ainsi que son pourcentage de réussite aux tirs. Après le déménagement des Grizzlies à Memphis en 2001, Reeves débute la saison sur la liste des blessés à cause de douleurs chroniques au dos. Il ne jouera plus jamais et prend sa retraite au cours de la saison 2001-2002.
