Later, gatling, nicknamed "Dope", represented the Mavericks and played the only All-Star in his life. He played 12 minutes, made 8 shots 1 and contributed 2 points and 2 rebounds, which was nothing. Even more depressing, just eight days after the All-Star Game, the Mavericks announced a big deal involving nine players from the New Jersey Nets. In this transaction, "alien" sam cassell, robert parker, "big bamboo pole" shawn bradley and other well-known players completed the collective migration, and gatling also came to his new owner, the New Jersey Nets. However, gatling played only three games in the second half of the 1996-97 season due to injury. After he played for the Nets for two seasons and only played 78 games, he sought a deal.

Gatling is well-known in the NBA because he often changes the color of the headdress belt. Strictly speaking, he has played 700 games for different teams but only started 86 games. He has never even sat in the starting position of any team. But all this did not prevent him from becoming a stable and excellent marksman, being regarded as one of the best bench players and winning the respect of ball critics. 200 1 He once said that he could be a survivor of a car accident when he was young, and finally standing on the court was enough to make him happy. The accident can be traced back to April 1985, when young gatling slipped while washing his car in the shed of a covered truck. His skull was badly damaged because his head landed first. In order to protect the safety of his skull, the doctor installed a stainless steel metal plate on Geitlin's head, which is why his head shape has always been a bit strange. He is a player who plays with a steel plate fastened to his skull. Gatling's basketball career has been facing a crisis. A player with such a serious head injury is actually not suitable for a fierce basketball court. If he is hit hard again, his brain health and even his life will be threatened.
