Born Christopher Zane Kaman, he has enjoyed decent success since being drafted sixth overall in 2003. Kaman checks in at an intimidating seven feet tall and 265 pounds. Originally from Germany, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers were he spent eight seasons until he was traded prior to the 2012 season to the New Orleans Hornets in a megadeal involving All-star guard Eric Gordon. Following the 2012 season, Kaman signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. Kaman attended Tri-unity Christian School in Wyoming, Michigan.

However, like so many games before, Chris Kaman battled back to decrease the lead to just seven at 25-18. "We got this," Cole said during the halftime huddle. The team responded by outscored Air Jenkens 24-13 in the second half. Air Jenkens featured a bench that went seven players deep and played a tough 3-2 zone throughout most of the contest. With less than five minutes to go, Jenkens switched to man-to-man and intentionally fouled, but Morrow and Davis came up clutch with free-throws. Down four with fewer than seven seconds to go, Jenkens chucked up a three which air balled and the celebration began with players jumping and running all over the court. The team posed for photos after the game at center court and by the bobcat poster on the wall sporting their new Champion '13 shirts.
