Timeline

1972

Edward Charles O'Bannon Jr.. (born August 14, 1972) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

1993

In his second season in 1993, O'Bannon was named to the first team All-Pacific-10 (Pac-10) Conference team.

In his junior year, he was named the team's MVP and was again first team All-Pac-10.

1994

In his senior year in 1994–95, O'Bannon was the key to UCLA's 1995 NCAA Basketball Championship, scoring 30 points and taking 17 rebounds and was named the NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

For the season, he averaged 20.4 points (.533 field-goal percentage, .433 3-point percentage) and 8.3 rebounds, earning him the John R. Wooden Award, USBWA College Player of the Year (now Oscar Robertson Trophy), and the CBS/Chevrolet Player of the Year.

He was a consensus first team All-American, Pac-10 co-Player of the Year along with Damon Stoudamire, first team All-Pac-10 for the third consecutive year, and UCLA's co-MVP along with Tyus Edney.

1995

He was a power forward for the UCLA Bruins on their 1995 NCAA championship team.

He was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the ninth overall pick of the 1995 NBA draft.

After two seasons in the NBA, he continued his professional career for another eight years, mainly playing in Europe.

O'Bannon was the lead plaintiff in O'Bannon v. NCAA, an antitrust class action lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletic Association which resulted in the discontinuation of NCAA video games.

O'Bannon grew up in South Los Angeles and attended Verbum Dei High School before graduating from Artesia High School.

He averaged 24.6 points, 9.7 rebounds in his senior year at Artesia.

He led the school to a 29–2 record that year, and they won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II state championship.

He was the most valuable player (MVP) at the Dapper Dan Classic, a high school All-Star game, and he was named a McDonald's High School All-American as well as honored by Basketball Times as its national high school player of the year.

O'Bannon originally planned to attend the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), but he did not sign a letter of intent with the university at the suggestion of UNLV head coach Jerry Tarkanian.

However, when UNLV's men's basketball program was placed on probation due to recruiting improprieties, O'Bannon rescinded his commitment and instead attended UCLA.

Six days before the official start of practice at UCLA, O'Bannon tore his anterior cruciate ligament as he landed awkwardly on a dunk during a pickup game with other Bruins.

He was told he might not be able to walk properly again, but eighteen months later, after receiving a graft from a cadaver, he returned to playing basketball.

In his first year, he came off the bench in 23 games and averaged fewer than four points while never starting.

Leading up to the 1995 NBA draft, O'Bannon hoped to be drafted by a team on the west coast.

Selected ninth overall by the New Jersey Nets, he signed a three-year, $3.9 million contract.

However, he became homesick.

In his two professional seasons, he was unable to find a place in the NBA, being too lean to play down low and not quick enough with his rebuilt knees to guard the perimeter.

His knee also started to break down.

He averaged 6.2 and 4.2 points per game respectively with the Nets and was traded to the Dallas Mavericks later in his second and final NBA season, where he had even less of an impact.

1996

His number 31 was retired by UCLA in 1996.

1997

In September 1997 he was traded along with Derek Harper to the Orlando Magic for Dennis Scott, and was waived by the Magic afterwards.

"It wasn't injury, it was confidence," O'Bannon said about his NBA career.

"I missed shots, got pulled from games, it affected my defense, and I lost all my confidence."

Former Nets teammate Armon Gilliam said, "He's a guy who didn't find his niche in the NBA. He wasn't in the right situation to grow and develop. He never got the opportunity to prove what he could do."

After his NBA career, O'Bannon played professional basketball seven years overseas in Italy, Spain, Greece, Argentina and Poland (in Anwil Włocławek, Polonia Warsaw and Astoria Bydgoszcz).

He also played one year for the startup American Basketball Association (ABA) with the Los Angeles Stars.

After the NBA, he only had one-year contracts and never made more than $400,000 in a season.

He decided to retire at age 32 after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

When he made his decision, he was in the process of trying out for a team in China but realized he had no more motivation to play the game.

Furthermore, the people holding the tryouts had never even heard of him.

In his professional career, O'Bannon said he "played for 12 different teams in at least six countries and for 15 different coaches."

2005

He was also inducted into UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Pac-12 Basketball Hall of Honor in 2012.

2006

In 2006, while employed as a salesman at the dealership, O'Bannon told the Los Angeles Times, "People see me and remember me and I'm proud to tell them—'No, I don't play. No, I don't coach. Yes, I sell cars.'" By 2020, he had become a probation officer in Las Vegas.

2009

As of 2009, O'Bannon was employed as a marketing director for a Las Vegas auto dealership.
