Shareef Abdur-Rahim
Shareef Abdur-Rahim (born December 11, 1976 in Marietta, Georgia) is an American professional basketball player, currently playing for the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. He attended college at the University of California, Berkeley for one year, after which he was drafted into the NBA by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the 3rd pick in 1996.
He made an immediate impact on the Grizzlies, becoming their leading scorer, and was clearly the best player on an otherwise dismal team. In 2001, he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks where he remained the premier player for several years. He was selected to the NBA All-Star team in 2002. Abdur-Rahim was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers on February 9, 2004.
