Before being beloved by the Filipinos during his run with Gilas in 2015, he made a name for himself in the NBA after having played nine years in the league for the Brooklyn Nets and the Washington Wizards.

He also played in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) where he was a two-time All-Star and a one-time league champion with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
