Bruno Šundov (born February 10, 1980) is a retired Croatian professional basketball player. Standing at 2.21 m (7 ft 3 in), he played the center position.[1] He played for five NBA teams and over 20 clubs around the world.
Šundov was a second-round draft pick of the Dallas Mavericks in the 1998 NBA draft, aged only 18, and played sparingly for a number of teams during a seven-year spell: the Mavericks (1998–2000), Indiana Pacers (2000–02), Boston Celtics (2002–03), Cleveland Cavaliers (2003–04) and the New York Knicks (January 2004 and 2004–05). He averaged 1.7 points and one rebound per game over his NBA career.
Šundov also played with the Israeli league club Maccabi Tel Aviv in February 2004, and with RBC Verviers-Pepinster in the Basketball League Belgium in May later that year. In September 2005, after leaving the NBA, he signed with the Spanish club Etosa Alicante, and two seasons later he joined five times-in-a-row Cyprus national championship club Proteas EKA AEL, being crucial in the team's success in the Eurocup campaign, where the club finished in third place.
In February 2008, Šundov was signed by the Spanish ACB league club Grupo Begar León, which was eventually relegated after the 2007–08 ACB season. In September 2008, he joined ASK Riga in the Baltic League and, later that season moved to Adriatic League team Cibona Zagreb.[2] He ended that season with Menorca Bàsquet in Spain, then joined Donetsk. When the latter team went bankrupt in January 2010, Sundov signed with Kavala of the Greek League.[3]
In September 2010 he signed a one-month contract with Valencia BC[4] in Spain which was not extended.[5] In January 2011, Sundov signed with the Bulgarian team PBC Lukoil Academic.[6]
The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters selected Sundov as an import for the 2013 Philippine Basketball Association's Commissioner's Cup;[7] he is the first European (and European-born) player to play as an import in the PBA. Later in 2013, Sundov signed with Al Shabab in the United Arab Emirates.[8] In February 2014, he signed with Jászberényi KSE of Hungary.[9]
In November 2014, he signed with his former club Lukoil Academic for the 2014–15 season.[10] In late November 2015, he signed with Al-Ahli of the Bahraini Premier League.[11] After moving to the Nicaraguan Toros del Norte with whom he played in the 2016 FIBA Americas League, in January 2016 Šundov landed in Petrochimi of the Iranian League.[12]
On January 5, 2018, Šundov signed with KK Split and returned to the Croatian Premier League.[13]
Šundov won silver with the Croatia national basketball team at the 2001 FIBA Under-21 World Championship, averaging 10.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game during the tournament.[14]
