Best known for:
– Integral part of the Jail Blazers
– Flipping fans the finger
– Being hated by Blazers fans after saying that fans “don’t matter”
– Set a then-Blazers playoff-record with 45 pts against the Mavs in ‘03

– Spitting on Danny Ferry… which seems pretty fair really, because Danny Ferry — a racist piece of shit — allegedly dropped an n-word
– Wearing out his welcome with teams quicker than Dieter Brummer regretted leaving ‘Home & Away’
– Blaming his agent for turning down a 5-year, $38.5mill extension from the Kings in 2006… and was out of the NBA 2 years later
– All-time great nickname

Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Bonzi was only on the bloody Jail Blazers, one of the MOST ledge-laden teams of all time… and any time you can be intensely hated by YOUR OWN FANS, you’ve reached a level of dead-set ledgeness usually reserved for only Dane Swan and Lleyton Hewitt

#ONYA Bonzi!
