Timeline
Christian Ansgar Welp (January 2, 1964 – March 1, 2015) was a German professional basketball player.
During his playing career, he was a 213 cm, 111 kg center.
He played three seasons in the NBA.
Welp was the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1986, and helped lead the Huskies to consecutive conference regular-season titles.
Welp was selected 16th overall, in the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s 1987 draft, by the Philadelphia 76ers, and he played three seasons in the NBA.
In December 1987, he slipped on a wet court in Chicago, the night after a Blackhawks' hockey game.
Welp remembered, "There was condensation on the floor, and the ball boys were mopping the floor the whole game," and the injury "was so severe, my knee never got back to the level it was before. But no excuses."
He was at a vacation home on Hood Canal, that he had purchased just after being drafted in 1987.
He had been complaining of chest pains, and was planning to see a doctor.
Welp's sons Collin and Nic both practiced basketball with their father; Collin later played for the UC Irvine Anteaters men's basketball team.
He was used sparingly by the Spurs, before being traded to the Golden State Warriors, in exchange for Uwe Blab (another German-born NBA center), at the trade deadline, during the 1989–90 NBA season.
After a handful of games with the Warriors, his NBA career ended.
From 1990 to 1996, Welp played in Germany, with Bayer Leverkusen, with which he won six German national league championships and three German Cups.

He scored the decisive last points in the tournament's final.

In the 1997–98 season, he played with the German league club Alba Berlin.
He also played with the Italian league club Viola Reggio Calabria, during the 1998–99 season.
After Welp retired from playing professional basketball in 1999, he lived in Seattle, Washington, with his wife, Melanie, and three children.
