Born in a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada, Bob Chrystal always had a passion for basketball. Despite his diminutive stature, his exceptional skills and tireless work ethic quickly set him apart.

After excelling at the high school and college levels, Chrystal was drafted into the National Basketball Association (NBA) by the Portland Trail Blazers in 1989. As a 6'0" guard, he faced doubts about his ability to compete against taller opponents.

Overcoming Adversity

In 1994, Chrystal's NBA career was almost cut short by a devastating knee injury. After undergoing multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation, he defied the odds and returned to the court stronger than ever.

The Block That Changed It All

Chrystal's most iconic moment came in Game 6 of the 1999 Western Conference Semifinals against the Houston Rockets. With seconds remaining on the clock and the Trail Blazers trailing by one point, he made a game-saving block on a shot by Hakeem Olajuwon.

That block became an unforgettable symbol of Chrystal's determination and the power of perseverance. It helped cement his legacy as one of the most respected and beloved players in NBA history.

Beyond Basketball

After retiring from the NBA in 2004, Chrystal dedicated himself to giving back to the game he loved. He became an assistant coach for the Canadian national basketball team and later head coach of the University of Victoria Vikes.
