Lo Sapevi?
Did not play organized basketball until he was 21 years old — he was working as an auto mechanic when he was discovered playing pickup.
His journey from car mechanic to NBA All-Defensive First Team is one of the most improbable development stories in league history.
His 5.56 blocks per game in 1984-85 is the all-time single-season record and has never been seriously challenged.
After retirement, he became a prominent business executive in Utah and wrote a book about leadership principles derived from basketball.
