Where Are They Now?
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
Pervis Ellison—Now
Pervis Ellison was drafted first overall by the Sacramento Kings in 1989; it was immediately after this unexpected announcement that he got a little anxious. (Watch the video!) Never Nervous Pervis became Out-of-Service Pervis because of injuries, but he battled back to become the NBA’s most improved player in 1992. Ellison retired in 2000 and currently coaches basketball at the Life Center Academy in New Jersey.
