Mark Ellsworth "Mad Dog" Madsen (born January 28, 1976 in Walnut Creek, California) is an American professional basketball player for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves.

Madsen played NCAA basketball at Stanford, where he finished his career ranked in the school's career top 10 in blocks and rebounds. In addition, Madsen helped the Cardinal to four NCAA tournament appearances, including a Final Four berth in 1998. Perhaps his signature moment at Stanford was his dunk and free throw that gave Stanford a lead over Rhode Island, propelling the team into the Final Four, where it lost to eventual champion Kentucky. Madsen was a two-time All-American and a two-time All-Pac-10.

The Los Angeles Lakers selected Madsen in the first round (29th pick overall) of the 2000 NBA Draft. He contributed to the Lakers' NBA championships in 2001 and 2002, and became well known for the way he danced at the victory parades for those championships.

Madsen signed with the Timberwolves as a free agent before the start of the 2003-04 NBA season. So far in 2007-08 NBA season he has come back from shoulder surgery and played five games, including four starts.

His lifetime NBA averages are 2.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists and 11:54 minutes played per game.

Personal

Madsen is a Mormon, or member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Madsen is a speaker of Spanish, having acquired the language from a two-year mission abroad in Malaga, Spain on behalf of his church following his graduation from high school.

As a youth, Madsen attained the rank of Eagle Scout and credits Scouting with teaching him about leadership, character and mentoring. Passing on what he learned in scouting, he started the Mark Madsen Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball Camp to teach basketball and character to today's youth.
