THE 7'6" 76ER: ESPN is reporting that Shawn Bradley, the much-reviled #2 overall pick of the 1993 NBA draft, will be announcing his retirement from basketball.

One estimate suggests that he earned over $60,000,000 over the course of his eleven-year career, and I'd do the math to figure out how much that works out per-championship, but you can't divide by zero.

I remember being furious that night that we didn't draft Anfernee Hardaway; in a long line of disappointing Sixers draft picks, it remains the one decision that really set back the franchise for a long, long time. (Only drafting Larry Hughes over Paul Pierce comes close.)
