Police find ex-NBA center’s stolen, oversized bike

MURRAY, Utah (AP) — Police in Utah say the oversized road bike made especially for former NBA center Shawn Bradley’s 7-foot-6 body has been found.

The road bike has an 80 centimeter carbon fiber-aluminum frame — about 50 percent larger than what a normal-sized person would ride. It went missing last Friday.

Bradley said earlier Thursday that he was dumbfounded over why someone would steal a bike that it is probably useless to anyone but him.

A random search by state probation and parole officials turned up the bike Thursday afternoon in the town of Murray, where Bradley has a home. Police Sgt. Brian Wright says 34-year-old Joshua Carter was arrested for possession of stolen property and felony theft.

He says Carter stands just 6-foot tall.
