Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Mate, you can’t spell ‘definitely considered without a skerrick of doubt one of the all-time great NBA busts’ without ‘Michael Olowkandi’. Kandi Man looked the part, just couldn’t, y’know, play basketball. Still made $38 mill in his career tho. Not bad work if you can get it.
