This is a look back on Otis Thorpe's career.Otis Thorpe was a physical force down low. Dunking on multiple people with his one-handed dunks and grabbing boards with one hand as well palming the ball with ease. On top of having the ability to get up and down the floor with the best of them even grabbing the rebound and taking off starting the break. Helping Otis Thorpe devlope into a go to guy in Sacramento. Before moving onto the Houston Rockets becoming the second option to Hakeem Olajuwon. Being the glue guy as well helping the Rockets win the NBA championship. While also becoming an all-star in Houston and becoming the all-time franchise record holder in field goal percentage. After Houston Otis Thorpe found himself on the move a lot becoming a journey man. Providing solid minutes as the starting power forward position. Going down as an ironman playing most of the games every season besides his final two over 17 years. Thorpe may have never reached star status but he was just a step below deserving of a few more all-star appearances but you’ll never find Otis Thorpe complaining about how it ended up.
