Sacramento Kings assistant coach Clifford Ray played in the NBA for ten years, helping the Golden State Warriors win a title in 1975. Yet one of the strangest odysseys of Ray's career happened in 1978, when the 6-9 forward was summoned by a local aquarium to use his long arms to retrieve a swallowed screw from a dolphin's stomach.

The 64-year-old recently retold the story to Paste BN Sports.
