- For 12 years, Shawn Bradley lived his NBA dream. The following 16 years he traveled the world. But in January 2021, Bradley's world was turned upside down.
The former BYU basketball player, who went on to be drafted as the No. 2 overall pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1993 NBA draft, was paralyzed in a tragic bicycle accident near his home in St. George.
"Being an elite athlete, playing at the highest level, to have someone help change my diaper - I mean, come on, that's not easy," Bradley said in an exclusive interview with KSL.com.
In the year since the accident, Bradley and his family have come to accept their new life.

I broke my neck on 9/11/84 and am a C4-C5 quadriplegic. I too had a severely bruised and damaged cord. But i am not able to snow ski, golf, play tennis. etc. So keep working Sean!
This guy (and his wonderful wife) puts a smile on my face every time I hear him speak. Great energy and perspective 🫶👏
My trials seem much less after watching this. Keep inspiring Shawn!
Truly hurts to see a great guy and player laid up like this. One thing I will definitely say is that wife of his is an absolutely amazing woman.
My best to you and your family. I love how you face your challenge with grace and humility. Much respect
My best to you Shawn! You got this
Im so sorry he had a freak accident while riding his bike. I pray and hope he can overcome odds and walk again someday
Sad but lives change and I hope he can remain happy and teach others
CAN'T BELIEVE HIS WIFE DIDN'T LEAVE HIM, SHE'S A SAINT!! 🙌🙌
I believe Shawn will be able to walk again!!
Me too!
Prayers! Keep The Faith!
Shawn we're praying for you! We wish you the best😊
Great story! as someone who’s into the spinal cord specialist sector, I hope one day I can establish accurate resource and information to make life a little bit more easier for patients
you got it !!
He is very blessed to have a wonderful wife it takes a woman of faith . Many women walk out on a man when he runs out of money or failing health, shes a good woman!
A 24-25 mile ride is unusual. It's a distance that crosses from riding for the pleasure of it to something that's more serious.
Stay strong Shawn!
Feel bad for shawn.
i mean i hope he can get stem cell treatment. maybe that would help him recover one day, big prayers for mr. bradley!!!!
I feel bad for Shawn, Ikmiw he was the brunt of a lot of jokes back in the day.
