Terry Catledge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terry DeWayne Catledge (born August 22, 1963 in Houston, Mississippi) is a former professional basketball player. A 6'8" forward from the University of South Alabama, spent eight seasons (1985–1993) in the NBA as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, Washington Bullets, and Orlando Magic. He ended his career with 6,520 total points and 3,314 total rebounds.
Catledge attended the University of South Alabama and Itawamba Junior College in Mississippi.
In 1992, while a member of the Magic, Catledge refused to give up his jersey number #33 so that new teammate Shaquille O'Neal, who at LSU also wore the same number, could wear it. In the end, O'Neal settled with #32.
