Where Did They Go?

In this edition I bring you ex-NBA player Keon Clark. He last played in the 2003-2004 season with the Utah Jazz before he was traded to the Phoenix Suns who ultimately cut him thus ending his career.

I always liked the dude, partly because I thought he would have played well with the Shaq-Kobe Lakers teams who were always in search of a serviceable power forward/center.

And partly because he always had some great highlight dunks:


Well it looks as though Clark will now reside behind bars for a couple years after being arrested on a search warrant.
Clark, 32, of Danville, was scheduled for a hearing Monday in Vermilion County Circuit Court to decide whether he will serve his Vermilion County and Champaign County prison sentences at the same time or consecutively. That means Clark could serve either two-and-a-half years or five years in the Department of Corrections.

Clark was sentenced in absentia to two-and-a-half years in prison in both cases. The Champaign case was for driving under the influence, and the Vermilion case was for driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance and not having a valid firearm owner's identification card.

It sucks that his off-court (rather in-court) issues led to his NBA demise. Clark is only 32 and I could point out several NBA teams that could use a big man on toothpick legs to dunk on people.

I will always remember your dunk on Bradley where you did not even touch the rim with your hand.

Holler Clark, get it together and come back to the league when you get out of the big house.
