Early life[edit]
Anthony Erwin Randolph, Jr. was born to Anthony and Crystal Randolph in Würzburg, West Germany, where both of his parents served in the US military.[1] Randolph spent the first year of his life in Germany, before his family moved to Pasadena, California, where he spent the majority of his childhood.[1] Randolph attended schools in Pasadena, as well as North Little Rock High School, in North Little Rock, Arkansas, before heading to Woodrow Wilson High School, in Dallas, Texas, for his junior year.[2]
Randolph's mother decided the school he was attending in Arkansas, was not right for him, because of the differences he had with the team's head coach, and in school.[3] At the time, he was a virtually unknown player.[3] Pat Washington, Randolph's high school head coach, stated that while Randolph was athletically gifted, he needed a lot of work on skills, such as ball handling, shooting, etc.[3] Washington also spoke of a technique the team had in workouts called the 'LAB', where the basic rules were that all players in play were required to never stop running, under any circumstances, and if the ball was turned over at any point, the player was to run back on defense immediately.[3] The technique might have contributed to Randolph's later defensive prowess, as he has been known to hustle back after turnovers, for defensive stops, in his professional career.
In high school, Randolph played all five positions on the floor.[3] During his senior season, Randolph's team did not qualify for a playoff position, which coach Washington attributed to bad chemistry.[3] Washington called the team very talented, and referred to Randolph as the best player on the roster, but stated that, 'as time went by, jealousy and agendas set in and took over.'[3] Randolph averaged 25.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game, as a senior.[2] Although Randolph was named to the first team All-Area The Dallas Morning News boys basketball team, played in the Reebok Round Ball Classic, in Chicago, and the Adidas Derby Festival Classic in Kentucky (leading all scorers in both games), he was not chosen to play in the McDonald's All-American Game his senior year.[2][3] Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Randolph was listed as the No. 4 small forward and the No. 12 player in the nation in 2007.[4]
College career[edit]
Glen 'Big Baby' Davis had just left Louisiana State University's (LSU) basketball team as well as seven-foot center Magnum Rolle, who transferred to Louisiana Tech, leaving the team with only two bigs, one being a junior college transfer.[3] Due to this fact, LSU told Randolph that if he joined their team, he could possibly play right away as a freshman.[3] Washington said that Baylor, Georgetown, Kansas, Memphis, and Texas were also interested in recruiting Randolph.[3] Though Memphis was Randolph's early choice in the recruitment process, he wanted to attend a school where he could play big minutes, which he figured he probably would not get to do at Memphis since the team's roster was so deep at the time.[3] Randolph made an impact in college right away, as he had six blocks in just his third game during his freshman season.[2] During his lone season at LSU, Randolph earned Honorable Mention All-SEC and First Team All-Freshman Team honors.[5] Randolph was the only LSU Tiger to start all thirty-one games in his freshman season, and averaged 15.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.13 steals, and 2.26 blocks per contest.[2][5] Although the team only ended the season with a 13-18 record, Randolph finished strong by averaging 20.1 points during the last nine games of the year.[2] Randolph also ranked third in the Southeastern Conference in rebounding and blocked shots, twelfth in scoring, and posted nine double-doubles his freshman season.[5]
Professional career[edit]
Golden State Warriors[edit]
Knowing there was a good chance he would be chosen in the first round, Randolph declared himself eligible for the 2008 NBA draft at the end of his freshman year at LSU.[6] Some projected Randolph to go high in the year's draft because of his versatility and potential, while his detractors thought he might drop because of his thin frame and raw overall game.[7][8] In either case, many believed Randolph could be the steal of the draft with his talent and tremendous potential.[9]
In the draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Randolph with the fourteenth overall pick.[5] The Warriors were coming off a disappointing 2007-08 season where the team was unable to qualify for the playoffs despite finishing the year with a 48-34 win-loss record.[10] Early in his rookie season, Randolph received minimal playing time, causing some to question his attitude and work ethic, or if a possible rift might be developing between him and head coach Don Nelson.[11] Many of the Warriors' main rotation players suffered injuries throughout Randolph's rookie campaign, and the team ended the season with only a 29-53 record.[12] Nonetheless, the Warriors did play a fairly strong second half of the season, including Randolph, who averaged 13.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals over the last twelve games of the year.[12]
After attending a Dallas Mavericks-San Antonio Spurs playoff game during the Warriors' offseason, Randolph became motivated to improve his play, hitting the gym hard to prepare for the following season.[13] Randolph's efforts first began to reward him in that year's Summer League being held in Las Vegas, Nevada where he not only began to dominate consistently but was also referred to by various sportswriters as being the best talent in the entire Summer League.[14][15] Among other highlights, including a then-Summer League record tying 42-point explosion in game four against the Chicago Bulls' Summer League team, Randolph was invited to attend the USA Basketball Men's National Team mini-camp following his dominant Summer League performance.[16][17] Though many believed Randolph was a lock to win Summer League MVP, the honor was given to 2009first overall pickBlake Griffin.[18] On October 14, 2009 the Warriors extended Randolph's contract through the 2010–11 NBA season.[19]

On February 22, 2011, Randolph was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three-way blockbuster deal which also involved the Denver Nuggets that brought Carmelo Anthony to New York.[21] In his first start of the year on March 24, filling in for the injured Kevin Love, Randolph recorded a career high 31 points and 11 rebounds. He followed that up with 24 points and 15 rebounds.
Denver Nuggets[edit]
On July 20, 2012, Randolph signed a multi-year contract with the Denver Nuggets.[22]
On June 26, 2014, Randolph was traded, along with Doug McDermott, to the Chicago Bulls for Gary Harris, Jusuf Nurkić and a 2015 second-round pick.[23][24]
Orlando Magic[edit]
On July 14, 2014, he was traded, along with two future second round draft picks and cash considerations, to the Orlando Magic in exchange for the draft rights to forward Milovan Raković.[25] The next day, he was waived by the Magic.[26][27]
Lokomotiv Kuban[edit]
On August 18, 2014, Randolph signed a one-year deal with Lokomotiv Kuban of Russia.[28] On April 16, 2015, he was named to the All-EuroCup Second Team.[29] In July 2015, he re-signed with Lokomotiv.[30] In his second season with Lokomotiv, he reached the 2016 EuroLeague Final Four, where his team lost in the semi-finals, but managed to win the third place game.
Real Madrid[edit]
On July 15, 2016, Randolph signed a one-year deal with Real Madrid.[31][32] On June 22, 2017, he re-signed with Real Madrid.[33] In May 2018, Real Madrid won the 2017–18 EuroLeague championship, after defeating Fenerbahçe Doğuş in the final game 85–80.[34] Over 20 EuroLeague games, Randolph averaged 8.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Randolph was an important member of the team.

Band history[edit]
Frontman Robert Randolph was trained as a pedal steel guitarist in the House of God Church and makes prominent use of the instrument in the band's music. The instrument is referred to in many African-American Pentecostal churches as 'sacred steel'. Randolph was discovered while playing at a sacred steel convention in Florida.[5]
The group's sound is inspired by legendary funk bands such as Earth, Wind & Fire and Sly & the Family Stone. Randolph himself has explained that in his adolescent years before being discovered by the secular community, he was almost completely unaware of non-religious music. He went on exclaim in an interview that “I grew up and saw a lot of older guys playing lap steels and pedal-steel guitars in my church. I had never heard of the Allman Brothers, or even Buddy Guy or Muddy Waters.”[6]
Before releasing albums with The Family Band, Randolph was selected by avant-garde jazz organist John Medeski to join him and the North Mississippi Allstars on their 2001 jam project, The Word. Just prior to the release of The Word's debut album, Randolph was brought to the attention of music fans through a review[7] by Neil Strauss in the New York Times in April 2001. On their first non-church tour of the East Coast, Randolph's new Family Band opened for the North Mississippi Allstars and then rejoined the musicians after their set, with Medeski, as The Word.
The first Robert Randolph and the Family Band album, Live at the Wetlands, was released in 2002 on Family Band Records, recorded live on August 23, 2001, just prior to the club's closing. The band released their studio debut, Unclassified on August 5, 2003. They attracted the attention of Eric Clapton, and have subsequently toured as a supporting act with the English blues guitarist. Clapton later guested on their 2006 album Colorblind, playing on a cover of 'Jesus Is Just Alright'.
In 2002, they were hired by ABC to make the network's new NBA theme song. The song, 'We Got Hoops', only appeared in three telecasts, though it was used throughout both the NBA and WNBA seasons during promotions for both leagues. In September 2003 Randolph was listed as No. 97 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list. Robert entered the list following Leigh Stephens and directly preceding Angus Young.[3] In February 2004 Robert Randolph and the Family Band along with the band O.A.R. released a cover version of Led Zeppelin's 'Fool in the Rain', which was made available for online purchase through iTunes. This version was played live with O.A.R. at their June 18, 2009 show at Charter One Pavilion in Chicago.
Their third album, Colorblind, was released October 10, 2006. The song 'Ain't Nothing Wrong With That' was used in several commercials for NBC, and used in Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas' jive on Dancing with the Stars.[8] In June 2008 the Discovery Channel used this same song in a popular promo entitled 'It's All Good' for their summer lineup. The legend of zelda four swords adventures gba rom download. The song 'Thrill of It' was used throughout the 2007 college football season by ABC during their College Primetime games.
They worked with producer T-Bone Burnett on their fourth studio album We Walk This Road, released in 2010. They released the supposed first single from that album entitled 'Get There' but this song did not appear on the album. The first official single from the album is 'If I Had My Way.'
Live appearances[edit]
Randolph's concerts are known for their lively stage performances, with Randolph content to let the rest of the band play on while he dances. Dance is an integral part of the concerts. During 'Shake Your Hips', women are encouraged to dance onstage. For the song 'The March', Randolph leaves his instrument to instruct the crowd on how to properly perform the intricate dance move.[citation needed]
Other noteworthy concert regulars involve the entire band trading instruments allowing each member to show off their musical proficiency. When he becomes completely enthralled by his music, Randolph will kick the chair away from his pedal steel guitar and dance while he plays. A microphone is occasionally passed around the front row of the audience, so they can sing during the song 'I Need More Love'. Audience members are also called up on stage to sing ('Purple Haze') or be a guest guitarist for one song.
The band made its first television appearance on Late Show with David Letterman on August 5, 2003, performing 'I Need More Love'.
In 2004 Robert Randolph and the Family Band was the opening act on the Eric Clapton tour. They are featured prominently in the Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD (2004). The band also appears on Bonnaroo Music Festival DVDs. The length of the concerts can vary greatly depending on what songs are played (the band does not use a set list) and how long jams last. Concerts go over the allotted time if the band and the audience are having fun. Most concerts don't have an intermission; instead, band members will exit the stage leaving one or two members a chance to shine with solos. The one time the band does stop is so the band can relax, get hydrated, and plan the encore. On October 9, 2004 Robert Randolph and the Family Band appeared on the PBS television show Austin City Limits.[9]
On January 24, 2007, they played in Dallas at Victory Plaza outside of the American Airlines Center as part of the 2007 NHL All Star game festivities.
