30 Greatest Dallas Mavericks in history, ranked by Player Efficiency Rating (PER)

18. Shawn Bradley - 16.7

Shawn Bradley will always be known for his eight full seasons as a Dallas Maverick from 1997 until 2005, and his height was what made him stick out the most. Standing at 7-foot-6, Bradley towered over everyone on the floor and he made a career out of being an elite rim protector.

As a Maverick, Bradley averaged 7.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.6 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field. Bradley will always be known for being a Maverick, and he had the best season of his career in 1996-97.

During this season, Bradley averaged 13.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 0.5 steals, and 3.4 blocks per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the field. Bradley blocked everything that opponents drove at him, and this was the same season that the Mavs traded for him.

While Bradley's time with the Mavs will always be remembered, his time off the court since he retired has been memorable for all the wrong reasons. Bradley was paralyzed when he was struck by a car while riding a bicycle, and his life will never be the same.

Bradley was much more than just a big body, and his touch around the bucket was underrated. He'd occasionally catch a lob and teams would have to play differently when he was on the floor due to his ability to block anything and everything. Bradley is also a class act off the floor, and he still always talks glowingly about his former teammates.
