Former NCAA Superstars—Are They Having Hoop Dreams or Hoop Nightmares?
For most sports fans, the NCAA basketball tournament known as March Madness is all about bracketology. For the young players on the court, it's win or go home. Snakkle selected a slew of college b-ball heroes from the '80s, '90s, and '00s. (The latter is typically referred to as "the aughts." Yes, we're nerdy.) Some went on to NBA greatness, some not so much. All of them were certified sports superstars who helped their college teams snag a championship. Is your favorite on our list? If not, leave a comment and let us know! We can take it. (A tip of the cap to our friend Vin Getz of Sports List of the Day for his kind assistance.) By Brett Singer
Ed Pinckney—Now
Pinckney was drafted 10th overall by the Phoenix Suns, but many fans remember him for his time with the Boston Celtics (1989-1994). He retired in 1997 as a member of the Miami Heat. After leaving the NBA, he worked as a television analyst, and in 2010 he was hired by the Chicago Bulls as an assistant coach.
