Star athletes from your high school or college

[abematic]

Lou Williams, South Gwinnett High School 

He was a Senior and I was a freshman. Him and the Varsity basketball players would chill during all 4th quarter lunch and when it was done, they would go through the aisle and collect the garbage with trash can roller. People would ask for autographs and he would sign them all. He was real cool and chilled dude. Even caught a game they played against their "Rival". 

He's now with the Los Angeles Lakers and has two girlfriends, at the same time that knows of each other.

Jon Jones, Arthur Jones, Chandler Jones went to the high school one town over from me. I played basketball against Chandler growing up since we were the same age. Then Arthur and Chandler were both at Syracuse while I was there. My sister now dates Jon/Arthur's best friend from childhood so she's attended Arthur's wedding and has seen/heard some wild things about Jon that I can't repeat. Feel bad for homie he's in enough trouble as is. Overall, this family has done well for themselves. UFC Champion and two Superbowl Champions. Pretty nuts. Their father is a pastor and their mother is legally blind but still attends some of their fights/games for the sounds.

Kadeem and I both went to the UA along with a couple of current NBA/NFL players. Here are some I went to school alongside

Stanley Johnson (Detroit Pistons)
Aaron Gordon (Orlando Magic)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (Brooklyn Nets)
TJ McConnell (Philadelphia 76ers)
Solomon Hill (Indiana Pacers)
Derrick Williams (NY Knicks)
Tevin Wade (NY Giants)
Nick Foles (LA Rams)
Robert Golden (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Earl Mitchell (Miami Dolphins)
Brooks Reed (Atl Falcons)
Marquis Flowers (Cincinnati Bengals)

And of course Rob Gronkowski (NE Patriots)

Bear down

So the bones that's been portrayed by the media the last year is accurate?

I remember when he helped nab a thief prior to the shogun fight.

He's not a bad guy. To me, it just seems he likes to party (too much) and ends up in bad situations because of it. Then the media has had a field day because he's a celebrity. No doubt he's made some questionable, selfish decisions that have inadvertently hurt others. Probably deserved to lose a lot of the sponsorships he did. But my hometown and everyone I know still loves him so I guess that speaks to something.

What happened to the star athletes from your high school or college. Did any of them play professionally? What are they doing now? Office job? Retail? Factory? Drug addict? Did they mature or are they still trying to relive their past glory like uncle rico? Discuss.

98% of them, nothing.

Played college ball and I assume are doing nothing after that.

2% are actually putting on. 1 in the NFL, one an NFL prospect playing for FAU.

Won't name him.

Demarcus Cousins. You should know what he's up to.
He's a lot younger than me so we didn't go to Leflore at the same time.

We didn't go to the same school, but we ran against Reggie Bush a lot in track. I went to University City and our school and his (Helix High School) had sort of a pseudo rivalry in track & field. I never really met him but I heard he was a pretty cool dude.

The only people I know to come out of my school were Felix Sanchez (Olympic gold medalist and reigning Olympic champ in the 400m hurdles) and my boy Joseph Oliveira who played for a few minor league baseball teams under the Orioles. He's now an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at SDSU
