Former Portland Trail Blazers center and second overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft Hasheem Thabeet wants to attempt a comeback. This is not a drill.
Reid Forgrave of CBS Sports shares the story of the once-touted pivot who hasn’t dressed for an NBA game since 2014. Drafted surprisingly high, Thabeet played for the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Oklahoma City Thunder before exiting the league quietly. Now almost 32, he hopes the phone might ring once again.
He says he’s in the best shape of his life.
