Dan O'Sullivan

A Bronx-born, 6'10" center out of Fordham, O'Sullivan broke into the NBA with the Jazz in 1990–91 after time with the CBA's Omaha Racers. Over six years he suited up for five NBA clubs — Utah, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Detroit and Toronto — the classic big man holding down the end of a roster.

The steadier work came overseas. He played for Kinder Bologna, Teamsystem Bologna and Scavolini in the Italian league, and closed out with AEK in Greece in 1999–2000, a decade after his first NBA minutes in a Jazz uniform.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUndrafted in 1990, he was called up from the CBA during his first professional winter and debuted for Utah that December.
