Contents
High school
Camby, a native of Connecticut, began his high school career at Conard High School in West Hartford. He transferred to Hartford Public High School where he finished his high school education.[2] In his senior season, Camby averaged 27 points, 11 rebounds, 8 blocks and 8 assists, en route to a 27-0 record and state title. He was named Gatorade's Connecticut Player of the Year.[3]
College career
Camby played three seasons for the UMass Minutemen. He is second all-time in total blocked shots (336) at UMass and the fourth-ever college player to have at least 300 total career blocked shots.[4] He had an NCAA freshman record 105 total rejections during his first year at UMass, and was named the Atlantic 10's Freshman of the Year.[4] Camby was named to the A-10's First Team during his sophomore season in 1994-95, as the Minutemen reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Camby won the John R. Wooden Award and the Naismith College Player of the Year Award during the 1995–96 season. He led UMass to numerous #1 rankings and the 1996 NCAA Final Four.[5] In the NCAA tournament, Camby set a tourney record of 43 total blocked shots in 11 games.[4] On April 29, 1996, Camby announced that he would forgo his senior year at UMass and enter the NBA Draft.
UMass' visit to the Final Four was later officially nullified by the NCAA because Camby had been found to have accepted $28,000 from two sports agents.[6][7] As part of the penalty, the school was forced to return their $151,617 in revenue from the 1996 NCAA Tournament. Camby later reimbursed the school for the amount lost. According to a 1997 Sports Illustrated article, the agents, John Lounsbury and Wesley Spears of Connecticut, had hoped that Camby would hire them to represent him when he became a professional. The article reported that Camby had also received "jewelry, rental cars and prostitutes" from the agents.[8]
Camby was inducted into the UMass Athletic Hall of Fame on September 10, 2010.[9] Though some criticized the school for inducting a student-athlete who caused their Final Four achievement to be vacated, others saw it as a positive recognition of one of the school's best ever athletes.[10][11][12]
NBA career
Toronto Raptors
Camby was selected second overall in the first round of the well-regarded 1996 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors. In the 1996-97 season, he made the NBA All-Rookie First Team, averaging 14.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game. The next year, Camby led the league in blocked shots with 3.7 per game.
New York Knicks
He played for the Raptors from 1996–1998, before being traded to the New York Knicks in exchange for longtime popular Knick Charles Oakley; a trade that Knicks fans would heavily criticize initially, but later praise as he would help the Knicks become the first #8th seed to make it to the NBA Finals during the 1998–99 NBA season.[13][14]
Denver Nuggets
Camby played for the Knicks from 1998–2002, before being traded to the Denver Nuggets, in exchange for Antonio McDyess.[15]
Camby has led the NBA in blocked shots for several seasons; however, frequent injuries have limited the impact of his career in the NBA. The 2005–06 season with the Nuggets was one of his most successful, as he had 12.0 rebounds per game, 9.6 defensive rebounds per game and 1.4 steals per game. He also averaged 12.8 points per game and led the league in blocks per game (3.3), while helping Denver earn a playoff berth by winning the Northwest Division.
On December 16, 2006, Camby was involved in the infamous Knicks–Nuggets brawl.[16] He was one of 10 players ejected from the game, but received no suspension.
Camby won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award for the 2006–07 season.[17] The honor was the first of Camby's career. He received the actual award from NBA commissioner David Stern during a pregame ceremony at the Nuggets first home 2006–07 playoff game, which was against the San Antonio Spurs on April 28, 2007.[18] During the 2006–07 season, Camby averaged 3.3 blocks per game (first in the league), 11.7 rebounds per game (fifth in the league), 9.3 defensive rebounds per game (second in the league) and 1.24 steals per game (second among centers).[19][20]
2007–2008 season
During the 2007–08 NBA season, Camby continued to make his mark as one of the best defensive players and centers in the game. He finished the season averaging 13.1 rebounds per game (second in the league), 18.1 rebounds per 48 minutes (first in the league), 10.2 defensive rebounds per game (second in the league), 14.1 defensive rebounds per 48 minutes (first in the league), 3.61 blocks per game (first in the league), 4.96 blocks per 48 minutes (first in the league), 285 total blocks (first in the league), 1.06 steals per game (third among centers) and 3.3 assists per game (second among centers). On December 26, 2007, in a Nuggets' home win against the Milwaukee Bucks, Camby posted a triple-double, with 10 points (which included a three-pointer), 11 rebounds and 10 blocks. The triple-double was Camby's third of his career and the first since April 19, 1998, against the Philadelphia 76ers.[21] On January 14, 2008, in a Nuggets' road loss against the Charlotte Bobcats, Camby had a statistically impressive and rare game of 20 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks. He became only the fourth player since 1990 to have at least 20 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks in one game.[22] On January 17, 2008, in a Nuggets' home win against the Utah Jazz, Camby became just the third player since blocked shots became an official NBA stat in 1973–74 with at least 24 rebounds and 11 blocks in a game.[23] On January 25, 2008, in a Nuggets home win against the New Jersey Nets, Camby blocked 4 shots—and in the process—recorded his 1,000th blocked shot as a member of the Nuggets.[24] On March 16, 2008, in an historic 168–116 home win in regulation over the Seattle SuperSonics (the 168 points were the most points scored in franchise history - fourth most in NBA history - for a non-overtime game), Camby recorded his second triple-double of the 2007–08 NBA season when he had 13 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists.[25] The triple-double was accomplished in a NBA record-tying 27 minutes.
Los Angeles Clippers
On July 15, 2008, Camby was traded from the Nuggets to the Los Angeles Clippers.[26] In exchange, the Clippers gave Denver the option to swap second-round draft picks in the 2010 NBA Draft. In the first part of the 2008–09 NBA season, he started at power forward, with Chris Kaman remaining as the starting center. Then, an injury that occurred to Kaman and the arrival of forward Zach Randolph brought Camby back to the starting center position. Camby said that he was unhappy that he was traded from the Nuggets, essentially being made the scapegoat for their lack of post-season success.[27]
"I thought I had done everything possible that I could do with that team, and just tried to go about things the right way. I just thought the way they went about it was classless; they didn't let me know anything. That's a thing of the past right now, that's something I put behind me and I'm looking forward to embarking on this journey."
On December 17, 2008, Camby pulled down a career-high 27 rebounds in a 109–115 overtime loss against the Chicago Bulls. He also had 19 points, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks.
On February 16, 2010, Camby was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, and cash.[28]
Portland Trail Blazers
Marcus Camby played in 23 games for the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2009 - 2010 season. With the Blazers riddled with injuries to their centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, Camby helped the team secure a playoff berth as the Western Conference's six seed. On April 12, 2010 in a game in Portland against the Oklahoma City Thunder Camby had a monstrous game leading the Blazers in scoring with 30 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. This performance sent the Rose Garden crowd into a hysteria and they began to chant "Marcus Camby" during the final minutes of the game. On April 20th, 2010 Marcus Camby signed a two year contract extension to stay with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Camby wore No. 21 (his UMass and Toronto Raptors number) during his first season in Portland, as Martell Webster still wore No. 23 at the time of the trade. Upon Webster's departure Camby re-acquired his familiar jersey No. 23.

Camby received attention in 2005 for making comments regarding the NBA's dress code, implemented during the 2005–2006 season, saying that "I don't see it happening unless every NBA player is given a stipend to buy clothes." He was highly criticized for that quote, in large part because he was scheduled to make $7.5 million that season.[29]
