ORLANDO ANTIGUA PERSONAL STORY
• The oldest of three children to Damaris Antigua,
Orlando grew up in a Bronx apartment with
no record of a father at home. His father, also
named Orlando, popped in every few years.
• Orlando, just three years older than brother Oliver,
was the father figure in the three bedroom
apartment. He would discipline, cook and
protect at the age of 10 in a house of four.
• On Halloween night in 1988, an argument broke
out between some men in his neighborhood
outside an electronics store and one of them
pulled a gun. A .22 caliber bullet hit Orlando, an
innocent bystander, near his left eye. Oliver took
the call from the hospital. Due to the bullet’s
location (it never penetrated the skull), doctors
deemed it safer to not to remove the bullet. He
was back playing basketball two weeks after the
incident. It was extracted during his junior year
at Pitt. He still has the bullet and keeps it next to
his championship rings.
