High School

Shaw began his high school career at Washington Union high school in Fresno, California playing alongside Deshawn Stevenson. During his freshman year, he was ranked as one of the top 5 centers on the west coast and by the end of the year was ranked among the best freshman basketball players in the country. During his Sophomore year, the Sporting News magazine honored Shaw as one of top 20 players in the country, alongside LeBron James.[1]

In 2002, Shaw attended the Nike All-American camp.[2] He later transferred to Bridgton Academy prep school in North Bridgton, Maine where he averaged 20 points and 11 rebounds.[3] During his time at Bridgton, Shaw participated in the Pittsburgh World Classic and played on the USA team. After prep school, he entered the 2004 draft where he worked out with the Seattle SuperSonics, and later withdrew.[4] Shaw then played for Hutchinson college for a brief period before joining the Harlem Globetrotters.

Professional career

Shaw's professional career began in 2005 with the Harlem Globetrotters. During his season with the Globetrotters, he appeared in the Harlem Globetrotters World Tour Nintendo DS game. Following his 2005-2006 season with the Globetrotters, Shaw went on to play for Associação Académica de Coimbra in Portugal. Shaw helped lead his team to the playoffs after a losing season. After playing internationally, Shaw returned to the United States and played for the Minot SkyRockets in the CBA during the 2008-2009 season. The following year, Shaw played for the Tacoma Tide in the IBL and also played for the Seattle Mountaineers in 2010.

After a three-year absence, Shaw resurfaced and made national headlines for participating in the 2013 NFL regional combine at the Seattle Seahawks headquarters by running a 4.81 in 40 yard dash.[5] Shaw later worked with the Oakland Raiders during OTA's where he had a meeting with the staff and tight end coach Mark Hutson.

In 2016, Shaw made his return to basketball as the starting forward for the Dunkin' Raptors in the Thailand Basketball League. [6] Shaw suffered a groin injury early in the season but managed to return and average a double-double for the remainder of the season.
