Harvey Carey (born March 18, 1979) is a Filipino-American professional basketball player born in San Francisco, California and currently playing for the TNT Tropang Texters in the Philippine Basketball Association.[1] He is known for his defense and tenacious rebounding skills. Despite being undersized at his position, he still manages to be effective inside the paint. He has also developed a steady mid-range jumpshot from the corner. Carey is currently one of the most athletic PBA players in the league. Though very undersized in the power forward position, his high leaping ability and athleticism makes up for it. He's known to be a very emotional player, screaming through put back dunks, tip ins and banging bodies in the shaded area. He led the league in total rebounds, offensive, defensive and overall total in 2008-09.
