Where Are They Now: Kevin Pittsnogle

[LizziebethHoya]

Pittsnogle is still in WV, teaching special ed middle schoolers for $25k a year and raising his two kids. He still holds on to the dream of making it in the NBA.

Gotta give the guy credit where credit is due; he is trying to make a life for himself and support his family. But...I couldn't help but laugh when I read: "He bowls in leagues three nights a week and occasionally plays bingo at Big Bucks Bingo"

sorry. didn't mean to double you up

It's still a little too fresh for me to give him his dues. Sure, I like to see guys (and gals for that matter) looking out for their kids. But his tatoos and antics are still a bit too fresh in my mind to actually "praise" him. I can, however, chuckle as you do on the bingo comment.

Yeah, that picture from the story with his sleeves rolled up, showing his tats, while teaching the kids... I mean, what can you really say.

Also, apparently he has gained a lot of weight - he's now 300 pounds, or more - further hampering his chances to play in the NBA.
