Welcome to the Unofficial Chris Dudley Website!
Thanks for visiting the Unofficial Website of Chris Dudley. I am a fan of this NBA basketball player. Right now he plays for the Phoenix Suns. He plays center and is a vetren on the Suns. Not many people know about Chris and what he has done on the basketball court and off the court. Hopefully this site will help you learn more about him, keep up with his stats, and give him the credit that he deserves.

Bio
Chris Dudley is known for many things on the court. He is known for his great defensive skills and a great rebounding game. While not the best scorer, he can do it when necessary. The only down fall for Chris is his terrible free-throw shooting. Usually he can barely get above 500%. He is still an essential part of his team though. Chris started out playing basketball at Solona Beach High School in Calfornia. After graduating, he went to Yale as the rest of his family had done. He had a very sucsessful time there. He was a 3 time First Team Ivy League player and one season was the 2nd highest rebounder in the league. He was drafted by Cleveland in the 4th round of the 1987 draft. Chris didn't get off to a good start. He was traded around to New Jersey, portland, and then New York, where he finally found his niche. He was crucial in helping the team make it to the 1999 Finals when he started the playoffs for an injured Patrick Ewing. Since then he has found himself in Phoenix and right now has found a role coming off the bench after starting the begining og the season.
Chris Dudley had learned that he had diabetes in his teens. Now he is helping others with diabetes. Chris holds a basketball camp for children with diabetes to teach them about diabetes, basketball, and having fun. To find a link to that page, check the Favoerite Links part of my website.
