Turkish league champion (2001) and Turkish cup winner (2001-03), Zaza came to the NBA to win as well, drafted #42 by Orlando Magic in the 2003 NBA Draft.

Besides bounced around overseas and back into the league, there wasn't much to Zaza's game besides being a starting caliber center in the NBA.

Along with to and fro from the overseas to the NBA, Zaza got transferred from Magic to Bucks to Hawks to Bucks to Mavericks to now the Golden State Warriors where the big man peacefully resides.

Zaza's trade to the Warriors might be the only actual bright spot in his career as he went on to win back-to-back championships (2017, 2018) with the Warriors. He signed a 2.8 million dollar deal for one year for the 2016-17 season followed by his resigning next year in the 2017-2018 season for another one year deal worth 3.4 million dollars.
