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, Louisville—Then
Pervis Ellison has an awesome name. He also was on an NCAA championship team and won the Final Four most outstanding player award when he was a University of Louisville freshman in 1986. Where do you go from there? He was nicknamed Never Nervous Pervis, but if you watch this video, you’ll find out what it is that makes Pervis nervous. It also caused him to, shall we say, break like the wind. Seriously, watch the clip, it’s worth your time.
