    I think DC will be remembered more of a cancer than anything else. he seemed to cause problems everywhere he went.

    everything I haver ever read on him says he was an underachiever - that stat line says somethingh else.

    He will probley be remembered for having a decent left handed 3 point shot for a big man lol. besides that he was pretty average.edit- didn't he play in the olympics for the usa at one stage ?

    In another 10 or 15 years he probably won't be remembered by anybody but avid NBA fans. He's already been, for the most part, forgotten.

    My god he was such a waste of talent, yet another example of a great basketball player that didn't love basketball. He had the talent to be one of the top forwards in the 1990's.

    He could have had a much better career. He had his prime in his 3rd season. That pretty much means that he didnt have the work ethic to get better.
