Who is Bakari Hendrix?
Bakari Akil Hendrix is a retired American basketball player. He was a standout player at Gonzaga University and played professionally in eleven countries.
Hendrix, a 6'8" power forward from St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School in Vallejo, California, played collegiate basketball at Solano Community College and Gonzaga. At Gonzaga, Hendrix faced a tough start as he fractured his ankle in his sophomore year - limiting his season to just nine games. However, the next two years Hendrix was named first team All-West Coast Conference as a junior and senior and was the 1998 WCC Player of the Year after averaging 19.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Following the close of his college career, Hendrix was not drafted by the National Basketball Association. Hendrix instead went to Turkey to play for Türk Telekom B.K.. This began a basketball odyssey for Hendrix that led him to play for 14 teams in eleven counties from 1998 to 2009. Hendix played professionally in Greece, France, Italy, South Korea, the Philippines, New Zealand, Australia and Lebanon. Hendrix also had stints in the United States with the Quad City Thunder of the Continental Basketball Association and with the Huntsville Flight and Colorado 14ers of the NBA Development League.
