Pervis
Ellison (born April 3, 1967 in Savannah, Georgia) is a former college and
professional NBA basketball player.Ellison
was nicknamed "Never Nervous Pervis" for his play with the University of
Louisville. At 6 ft 10 in and 242 lb, he started all four years as the
center under coach Denny Crum. In his freshman year he led Louisville to its
second national championship and was named the Most Outstanding Player—the
second time a freshman had ever been awarded that honor (Carmelo Anthony is
the 3rd player to date to have achieved the honor, winning it as a forward
with the Syracuse Orange in 2003). Arnie Ferrin was the 1st Freshman to win
their MOP in 1944 for Utah.Ellison
was made the first overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Sacramento
Kings. An injury kept him on the sidelines for 48 of 82 games of his rookie
year, after which he was traded to the Washington Bullets. (A Sacramento
teammate, Danny Ainge, had nicknamed him "Out of Service Pervis.") Although
he was assigned as a backup in 1990-1991, the following year he became a
starter and earned Most Improved Player honors after averaging 20.0 points,
11.4 rebounds and 2.68 blocks per game.Assorted
injuries plagued his career, including two knee problems that kept him
benched for 29 games in 1992-1993 and 30 games in 1993-1994. As a free
agent, Ellison signed with the Boston Celtics in 1994 but did not play until
midway through the season because he was still rehabilitating from knee
problems. A broken toe suffered while moving furniture kept him out of most
games between 1996 and 1998. After participating in 69 out of a possible 246
games over the final three seasons with the Celtics, he joined the Seattle
Super Sonics in 2000 but retired after playing nine games. He now coaches
basketball for various teams throughout New Jersey. Hes even a football
coach for the Lawnside Jaguars. He lives in Voorhees New Jersey with his
wife Timi and 3 children [Seattle, 13 Aja, 12 Malik, 11]Check out my official MySpace site at http://www.myspace.com/pervisellison
