A Shot at the NBA.. Again

The first legally deaf player in the NBA will reportedly get a shot at making the Indiana Pacers. Lance Allred is a 6'11" forward. He played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008 and has since bounced around with a variety of other teams, ending up in what's called the D-League. His story is told in the book Longshot: The Adventures of a Deaf Fundamentalist Mormon Kid and His Journey to the NBA.
