An undrafted center out of Nebraska, Tony Farmer didn't make his NBA debut until the 1997-98 campaign, his age 28 season. Farmer signed with the Hornets, making two starts out of 27 appearances. In those games, Farmer averaged 2.5 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.2 assists and 0.4 steals. After being waived by Charlotte, Farmer wouldn't find himself in the NBA again until the 1999-2000 season, when he latched on with the Golden State Warriors.

This time around, Farmer played a full season, appearing in 74 contests with Golden State. However, this would be Farmer's final NBA campaign. While he didn't carve out a long NBA career, Farmer's longevity as a professional was noteworthy, as he played for various pro teams from 1991 until his final season in 2013.
