Lamarcus Aldridge Biography

LaMarcus Aldridge is an American professional basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

He played college basketball for two seasons with the Texas Longhorns. He was selected second overall in the 2006 NBA draft. He signed with the Spurs in 2015 after spending nine seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was selected by five All-NBA teams and is a seven-time NBA All-Star. He is widely known for a fadeaway jump shot of his signature.

Lamarcus Aldridge Education

Aldridge attended Seagoville High School, where he became a Class 4A Player of the Year’s second-team All-American and Texas Basketball Coaches Association (TABC). Considered by Rivals.com to be a five-star prospect, Aldridge was rated in 2004 as the nation’s No. 4 best center and No. 16 overall.

Aldridge attended the University of Texas at Austin. He declared the NBA draft for 2004 but ultimately withdrew his entry. According to one source, Shaquille O’Neal’s personal advice that he should go to college and then determine his NBA prospects influenced Aldridge’s initial decision to attend college instead of entering the pro ranks directly from high school. Nevertheless, Aldridge revealed in April 2006, at the end of his second year with the Longhorns, that he would leave college to enter the NBA draft for 2006.

LaMarcus Aldridge Was “Intrigued” By Masai Ujiri’s Vision This Summer

In Adrian Wojnarowski’s new piece detailing how the Spurs landed LaMarcus Aldridge this summer, he shares a really fun anecdote about how Masai Ujiri was lurking as Aldridge and Gregg Popovich met up for lunch, and even received a ribbing from Pop on signing DeMarre Carrollaway from the Hawks. From the article:

In early July, LaMarcus Aldridge stepped out of the Montage Beverly Hills lobby doors and found a familiar face in a most unlikely resting place: busting chops by Gregg Popovich. The San Antonio Spurs emperor playfully jabbed Toronto general manager Masai Ujiri in the valet lane of the hotel for signing a $60 million free-agent deal with Atlanta’s DeMarre Carroll. Spurs family is the Spurs family, and Ujiri’s program in Atlanta was punctured by a protege.

Sixteen million dollars a year, Popovich proclaimed with Aldridge approaching them. “Hey, Masai ought to pay you $35 million a year!”

“If he could, he would,” With a joke, Aldridge said, a node of admiration for the relentless pursuit of Ujiri.

here was an inherit awkwardness to the moment, with Popovich and Aldridge understanding why Toronto’s top executive lingered outside the hotel. From far behind, Toronto was still chasing the largest free agent available on the market, the general manager of the Raptors loving Aldridge, selling the starry free agent on a visit that would never materialize.

Nevertheless, Ujiri stepped aside now. His brief, spirited run was over, and he knew it.

More importantly, Aldridge was intrigued by Ujiri’s vision:

Aldridge met with the Toronto Raptors, whose general manager, Masai Ujiri, had Aldridge enraptured. He found himself intrigued with Ujiri’s vision of the entire country of Canada behind him, telling Yahoo, “There was a genuine spirit about (Ujiri) that made me more interested in Toronto.”

Ujiri lurked in the halls of the Montage for the next 48 hours, carefully crafting text messages to Aldridge, trying desperately to get him on a plane and come visit the city. Ujiri imagined the rapper Drake, a fan of the Raptors, summoning other fervent fans, packing Jurassic Park outside the Air Canada Center and somehow being willing to be upset by a free agent.

So, let’s pack Jurassic Park for Kevin Durant next year just for the hell of it.
