	Nazr Mohammed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nazr Tahiru Mohammed (born September 5, 1977 in Chicago, Illinois) is a professional basketball player with the NBA's Detroit Pistons.
		The son of an immigrant from Ghana, Mohammed was raised in Chicago and attended high school at Kenwood Academy.
		Mohammed entered the University of Kentucky in the fall of 1995 at a hefty 315 pounds, and saw little playing time during their NCAA Championship season.

	Detroit Pistons officially add Nazr Mohammed to a five-year contract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		DETROIT (AP) - Nazr Mohammed probably won't be able to duplicate Ben Wallace's ability to defend, rebound and play with energy for the Detroit Pistons.
		Mohammed, who turns 29 before next season, has bounced around the league during his career, which started when he was traded by the Utah Jazz after they drafted him with the 29th overall pick in 1998 out of Kentucky.
		Mohammed's career averages are 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.6 blocks.

	InsideHoops.com - Nazr Mohammed Interview
		Center Nazr Mohammed was traded from the Knicks to the Spurs in mid-season, and has proven to be very useful for San Antonio, especially during the NBA playoffs.
		Nazr Mohammed: Ben is extremely tough, he’s a 2-3 time All-Star and he’s one of the best rebounders to play this game so I just try to go out there and keep him off the glass, and try to find open spots on offense.
		Nazr Mohammed: Whenever you’re traded, the first thing that goes through your mind is disappointment, you have a family that is just getting situated in a city.

	Augusta Georgia: sports@ugusta: Kentucky center heads for NBA 05/05/98
		Kentucky's Nazr Mohammed (13) dunks one in during the second half of the NCAA Men's Final Four semifinal game against Stanford, March 28, 1998, at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
		Mohammed, whose shot blocking and rebounding helped lead Kentucky to the NCAA basketball championship, said Monday, May 4, 1998 he would forgo a senior season and enter the NBA draft.
		Mohammed, a 6-foot-10 center, said he would not hire an agent in order to protect his college eligibility in case he changes his mind before the June draft.

		There were brief moments last fall when he wondered whether he should be in Lexington, Ky., preparing for his senior season instead of NBA limbo because of the lockout, but now everything is fine.
		The only thing that is different now is that Mohammed does not have 60 pounds to shed before he can be effective.
		At UK, Mohammed was surrounded by a wealth of talent, but he said that is no comparison to the NBA.

	Detroit Pistons Forum - I though Nancy looked bloated and gassy
		Mohammed has not, as expected, been the defensive presence inside that Wallace was for six years in Detroit.
		Nazr's FT shooting was one of his big selling points when he signed here.
		I think Nazr will get a a littel better as the season goes on but starting to sound like he is not quite on the same page as saunders.

	SportingNews.com - NBA - Pistons replace Wallace with Mohammed
		Mohammed has bounced around the league during his career, which started when he was dealt by the Utah Jazz after they drafted him with the 29th overall pick in 1998 out of Kentucky.
		Nazr is a nice player, and I think he can step in and block shots and rebound for us.
		Nazr Mohammed is no Ben Wallace but he's certainly a good, servicable center and will fit in to what they do in Detroit.

	Detroit at Boston - 11/3/06 - Page 2 - MotownSports.com Message Board
		As for Nazr, he was out of the game when the Pistons started to turn it on, Mcdyess and Wallace were the ones scoring inside, playing good defense and rebounding.
		Nazr is a solid if unspectacular center, even average centers are usually horribly overpaid and hard to come by, signing him wasn't a mistake.
		Nazr isn't going to help with that problem but he's looked like a decent one on one defender so far and I think he and Rasheed might end up working better together than anticipated.

	Former Knicks enjoying chance for title
		Mohammed toiled as a starter for the Knicks until Feb. 24, playing for one of the most scrutinized and judged teams in the NBA, something McDyess knows about from playing there in 2003.
		Mohammed had pulled down 10 offensive rebounds after three games against Detroit, and might have had more in Game 3 if he hadn't gotten slapped with two fouls in the opening two minutes.
		This is only Mohammed's third foray into the playoffs and had he remained with the Knicks, odds are he'd still be stuck at two.

	SportingNews.com - Pistons sign Nazr Mohammed
		nazr is a decent big man, will provide some size, but please detriot start with sheed, antonio, prince, rip, and billups go smaller but u have d and more offense...then bring on nazr and carlos delfino (huge star just play the guy).
		Nazr is probably going to put up a few more points but his boards and steals wont even compare to the ones that Big Ben will be putting up in Chicago.
		Nazr IS a quality center in the NBA especially with the lack of True centers...He can average you a double double a night if given the minutes.

		When Mohammed arrived at UK from Kenwood Academy in Chicago, he was 6 feet 10 and 315 pounds.
		At the time, Mohammed was sullen over his demotion and questioned why he was one of the few scholarship players out there with all the walk-ons.
		I know people talk about Kentucky and say they don't have those NBA players they've had in the past but Nazr Mohammed is going to be a first-round draft choice and if he keeps playing the way he's playing, he'll be a possible lottery pick next year.

		Free agent center Nazr Mohammed of the Spurs has agreed to a five-year, $30 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher is reporting.
		Mohammed replaces Ben Wallace, who told the team Monday that he was leaving to join the Chicago Bulls.
		Mohammed, who turns 29 on Sept. 5, probably will not be able to rebound, block shots and provide energy as Ben Wallace did -- but he will cost about $9 million less next season.

	Nazr Mohammed, Kentucky
		He started out as an overweight project, who was a deep scrub on a national championship team where he spent the majority of his playing time on the junior varsity.
		Coming out of HS, Mohammed was vastly overweight (350 pounds it was rumored) and was pretty much unknown on the recruiting scene.
		In general, Mohammed has a terrific attitude -- his work ethic to improve his game and his treatment of coming off the bench early in the season are testaments to it.
