Kelvin Tavares Cato (born August 26, 1974) is an American retired professional basketball player.

College career

Cato was an obscure player averaging six points and six rebounds at the University of South Alabama in 1992-93. At that time, he struck up a relationship with then University of New Orleans coach Tim Floyd, who recognized Cato’s potential. In 1994, Floyd took over as head coach at Iowa State University and convinced Cato to transfer to Iowa State. Cato averaged 11 points, eight rebounds and four blocks per game for an Iowa State team that reached the Sweet Sixteen of the 1997 NCAA Basketball Tournament.

NBA career

Drafted 15th overall in the 1997 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks, Cato’s draft rights were immediately traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for the draft rights to Chris Anstey and cash considerations. Cato averaged 3.8 and 3.5 points per game in his two seasons in Portland before being bundled in a six-for-one deal with the Houston Rockets that sent Scottie Pippen to the Blazers.

He spent five years in Houston, averaging a career-high 8.7 points per game in 1999-2000, and started all but two of the games he played in both the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons. On October 28, 1999, Cato signed a six-year, $42,000,000 contract extension that increased in controversy as his playing statistics cooled. With Yao Ming as the Rockets’ new starting center, the Rockets traded Cato in a seven-player deal that sent Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley, and Cato to the Orlando Magic for Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue, and Reece Gaines. While he started 50 games in the 2004-05 season for the Magic, his playing minutes went down significantly the following season as he battled shoulder injuries.

On February 15, 2006, Cato, along with the Magic’s first-round pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, was traded to the Detroit Pistons for center Darko Miličić and point guard Carlos Arroyo. Cato finished out the season with the Pistons. He signed with the New York Knicks for the 2006-07 season.

He was a walk-on member as a backup quarterback for the UNC football team. Dan started out as a production intern for MTV in Los Angeles. He actually came up with the idea for MTV Sports. He pitched the concept to MTV execs who liked it, but thought Dan was “too ethnic” to be on camera. MTV held a series of auditions where potential hosts would go into bars and interview patrons. As a courtesy they allowed Dan to audition. Dan thought he had no chance of landing the show so his audition came across as totally off-the-cuff, funny and natural. When execs back in New York saw his tape, they knew he was the best choice. Cortese would go on to host six seasons of MTV Sports between 1992-1997. He would also host the networks periodic “MTV Rock N’ Jock” games which were extremely popular at their peak.

There were 20 episodes so he earned $8,000 for the season. For the second season Dan begged for a raise because he literally could not pay his rent.

In 1994 Dan played the memorable role of “Tony” on what became a classic episode of Seinfeld. The episode spawned a number of catch phrases and terms like “MIMBO” and “Step Off!”. In 1995 he played the role of Jess Hanson in 1995 on an episode of Melrose Place. From 1997 to 2000 Dan had a recurring role on Veronica’s Closet. Dan was the host of reality sports TV show My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad which was canceled by NBC after only one season.
