Chuck Nevitt (born June 13, 1959 in Cortez, Colorado) is an American former professional basketball player, known primarily for his great height. At 7 foot, 5 inches, he played the center position throughout his nine-year career (1983, 1985-1990, 1992, 1994) in the NBA, and remains one of the tallest players ever in NBA history. During his career, he played with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.
While with the Detroit Pistons in the 1988-89 season, the 7 foot, 5 inch center became a fan favorite because his gangly presence on the court signified that a Piston victory was well in hand. These last minutes of a Detroit blow-out were called Nevitt Time by fans and announcers.
Nevitt attended and played college basketball at North Carolina State University.
