About David Harrison (basketball)

David Joshua Harrison is an American former professional basketball player. A former National Basketball Association (NBA) player for the Indiana Pacers, he was a member of the Beijing Ducks for the 2008–09 season and played with the Guangdong Southern Tigers for the next two years. He also played for the Tianjin Ronggang. At Brentwood Academy, Harrison was named Mr. Basketball in Tennessee, in both 2000 and 2001, for Division 2 schools. He was drafted by the Indiana Pacers out of the University of Colorado at Boulder with the 29th pick of the 2004 NBA draft. In college, he was named First Team All-Big 12 and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors by the Associated Press as a junior. In Harrison's first game back from the suspension he had 4 points, 6 rebounds and a career high 6 blocks in just 20 minutes of play. That company became Token HiFi which was founded with assistance from former New York representative Dan Donovan. However, the league folded after it was discovered the founder was a con-artist.
