Orlando Woolridge overcame adversity in a 13 year career which saw him look destined to be the next star of the Chicago Bulls until MIchael Jordan was drafted, then play an important bench role on some great Lakers teams after owning up and beating addiction. Additionally, he was one of the top players on the 1991 Denver Nuggets who are an anomaly of an NBA team. His career lasted 13 seasons and even though he was never even an all star, he averaged 20 or more points 4 times in his career and did so while utilizing his insane athleticism to dazzle fans. So, today Forgotten Player Profiles looks at the late, great Orlando Woolridge.
