Garth Joseph as member of Saba Battery
Garth McArthur Fitzgerald Joseph (born August 8, 1973 in Roseau, Dominica) is a former NBA player. At 7 ft, 2 in and 315 pounds, his physique is often compared to that of Shaquille O'Neal, especially when he was a young and raw-skilled center at The College of St. Rose. However, Joseph's skills never materialized and he only appeared in a total of four National Basketball Association games, two with the Denver Nuggets and two with the Toronto Raptors during the 2000-01 NBA season.
Joseph played the 2005-06 season for Saba Battery [1], an Iranian basketball team.
During the 1998-99 season, Joseph played for the Mansfield Hawks (Ohio) of the International Basketball Association.
