In the late 90’s and early 2000’s Theo Ratliff was one of the best defensive centers in the NBA and led the league in blocks 7 times over the course of his career. In 2001, he signed a $57 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks, which at the time was massive, and it allowed him to purchase this ridiculous mansion on the outskirts of downtown Atlanta.
