This thread is for interesting whereabouts of former NBAers:

For example, Spud Webb is coach of a female stripper basketball team:

Fatoine Walker was just waived from the Idaho Stampede for conduct unbecoming a D-Leaguer:

Tremaine Fowlkes?

Vitaly Potapenko?

Potapenko is assistant coach for the Wizards. Dakota Wizards.

Fowlkes is on Facebook:

Vin Baker?

Ricky Davis?

Danny Fortson?

C'mon... are any of these guys likely to do interesting things?

My intent was to post about interesting former player activities as they're happening, not Google up everyone.

Here's Vin:

Looks like he just can't shake those demons...

@Keith_Langlois: Terrico White scoreless in 13 minutes for NO. DaJuan Summers DNP. Sharpe 5 points for MEM.

Wonder what former Piston greats Valter Hermann and Primoz Brezec are up to?

(Yes, I know I could just Google...)

Laettner's in court for some sort of real estate scam:

Memo just retired. I bet if he could've stayed a Piston, Kander would've kept him healthy.

Wow, there is blood.

I will play with my Memo bobblehead tonight.

Adrian Dantley is a fucking crossing guard in Saliva Springs, Maryland?!?! WTF!?

http://deadspin.com/why-is-one-of-the-nbas-all-time-greatest-scorers-worki-453840265

Mxy, Nice work... that's some fucked up stuff you're reporting here.. damn how the mighty have fallen... where's the pride?

Wasn't he an assistant with the Nuggets not too long ago?

He was head coach for them while Karl was out too IIRC.

i think it's cool that he is a crossing guard. he's clearly not in it for the money. he probably just wants to make sure kids don't get hit by cars and shit.

Will Blalock, Team Canada:

http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=4684669

Noticed his name because he's tight with Shabazz Napier out of UConn...

i think it's cool that he is a crossing guard. he's clearly not in it for the money. he probably just wants to make sure kids don't get hit by cars and shit.

He does it for the benefits. Crossing guards work part time but get full time benefits.

I thought Ben Gordon checked out about 5 years ago, but he's still here.

Darko is a kickboxer?!?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2207211-former-no-2-pick-darko-milicic-to-give-up-basketball-pursue-kickboxing

I bet Rick Fox could fuck him up today like he did in the Finals.

Darko has been such a bust but has made so much money it makes me depressed thinking about it.

If Darko had been a 2nd round draft pick, he would've been worth the subsequent contracts he received as a backup C.

What amazes me is that after being paid $50+ million, he finds himself with a need to get the shit kicked out of him.

So special.

Brandon Roy never cashed in on his professional NBA potential due to a series of crippling knee woes

What? Dude was a 3 time all-star and was on 2 all NBA teams. His career was cut short but he definitely cashed in on his potential.

Loved B-Roy.

Fakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is serving a 25-day jail sentence after pleading guilty on Dec. 13 to a probation violation he committed this summer.

Caldwell-Pope failed to comply with a Michigan court’s drug and alcohol screening order — part of a 12-month probation — according to the prosecutor’s office in Auburn Hills, Mich., where the Lakers player was stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence on March 29.

The 24-year-old is serving his sentence in the Seal Beach Police Department Detention Center and, under a work-release program, is being allowed to leave the facility for games and practices, according to court and jail officials and court documents.

Caldwell-Pope is not allowed to leave the state, which will result in missed games in Houston and Minneapolis. He is expected to be at the Lakers game against the Warriors in Oakland on Friday.

https://www.deseretnews.com/article/865697182/Game-of-Life-Jazz-forward-Jonas-Jerebko-juggles-hoops-family-and-e-sports-ownership.html


In the offseason, Jerebko lives less than five minutes away from the Renegades gaming house in Michigan with his wife, Johanna, and their young daughter, Izabel, so he gets to interact with the guys much more on a personal level. Members of the team are always playing pickup basketball and other fun activities at his home.

What are these other fun activites? I need to know!!

Three years after Joe Dumars stepped down as the Pistons’ president of basketball operations in 2014, Independent Sports & Entertainment, a sports, media and entertainment management agency, hired him as president of its basketball division.

Vinnie Johnson isn't black enough??!

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-28/vinnie-johnson-risks-losing-billions-because-his-executives-are-all-white?sref=1kJVNqnU


Vinnie Johnson went from a clutch player for the championship Detroit Pistons to owner of one of the biggest Black-owned auto suppliers in the U.S. Now, the entrepreneur says he’s at risk of losing up to $2.5 billion in contracts because his company’s executive ranks are too White.

The Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council stripped Johnson’s company, Piston Group LLC, of its “minority” status, a designation that gave him a foot in the door of global automakers, which award lucrative supply-chain contracts to companies that are owned by and hire people of color.

Andre Drummond is now a professional fluffer bitch for Joel Embiid.
