I'm not sure if there are a lot of WWE fans in BBN (like myself), but I saw something interesting on Twitter this evening.
Kevin Nash of the WWE/WCW (aka. Big Sexy, DIESEL, or Big Daddy Cool Diesel) posted the above picture on his Twitter account with the following statement.
@RealKevinNash: Memory Lane. Shooting a jumper over Sam Bowie of Kentucky , 1980. Sweet Shorts.
After seeing this, it got me to do a little research and I stumbled across this on wrestlingrevealed.com as well.
Kevin Nash was good enough to have a respectable career in basketball. He earned himself a spot as a center on the University of Tennessee men's basketball team. There, he played with a 6'7", 220 pound forward named Dale Ellis, who would end up becoming one of the best shooters to have ever played in the NBA. When an offer to play basketball professionally in Europe came calling, Kevin Nash found it hard not to pick up the phone. He played professional basketball in Germany for a little bit before a torn ACL would end his career.
Pretty interesting that Kevin Nash actually played for UT, not to mention played in Rupp Arena. Only instead of 'Power Bombing' someone through the mat, he was shooting a jumper over Sam Bowie.
