Once Geiger showed his basketball talent at Country High School in Clearwater, Florida, he was soon admitted to Auburn University to play college basketball.
He stayed at Auburn until he moved to Georgia Tech for more minutes. Geiger’s illustrious college career earned him the second round (42nd overall pick) of the 1992 NBA draft by the Miami Heat. Since then, he has completed 10 NBA seasons, from 1992 to 2002, with three teams: the Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers. As a professional basketball player, he left his mark with his mid-range jumper and rebounding skills, both of which are considered his main assets. In the summer of 2000, Matt Geiger refused to waive the trade-kick clause of his contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. He was also suspended two games during the 2000-01 season for violating the NBA/NBPA’s steroid policy. Although Geiger signed a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2001, a knee injury will force him to retire in 2012. Throughout his career, he averaged 9.2 points and 5.7 rebounds. As of today, he lives in Tarpon Springs, Florida, where he is a real estate investor. Geiger’s 28,000-square-foot home sold for $8 million in 2011, four years after it was originally listed for $20 million and hit the market.
