Births on July 8

Hakim Warrick, American basketball player

Hakim Hanif Warrick (born July 8, 1982) is an American former professional basketball player. The 6'9", 219 lb. (100 kg) power forward was a major part of the Syracuse Orange's run to the 2003 NCAA Division I college basketball National Championship, often being most remembered for blocking a potential game-tying three-pointer in the title game. Warrick also has a reputation as a prolific dunker, while also possessing a wide arsenal of low-post moves.

Warrick was taken with the 19th pick in the 2005 NBA draft, and after being used sparingly in his first NBA season, he had a breakout second year, by more than tripling his scoring output, and doubling his rebounds.

By 2007, he was one of the least efficient NBA players of all time. He posted the worst-ever Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus rating in his 8908 minutes from 2007-2011: -2.8 on offense and -3.4 on defense.
