I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but former Billiken great Willie Reed has battled back from an achilles tear and possibly shoulder issues. He is now starring for the Cocodrilos de Caracas (Venezuela).

They'd kill for an Applebee's in Venezuela right now. I'm surprised they're still running a league and he could get a visa.

He had trouble with women in the US,Venezuela is on another level.  Watch out Willie.

It is interesting for sure, though maybe not as surprising as the fact that they are still running a basketball league in the Ukraine.

Willie was agonizingly close to being set for life. I feel for him, he must live with a lot of “what ifs”. Still made a few mil in the NBA and spent a decent chunk of his working life playing a game though. I’m a little surprised he’s still playing.

His "what ifs" were a lot of his own doing. He passed on the guaranteed 3 yr/$15 million offer from Miami and instead ended up signing a 1 yr/$1 million deal with the Clippers after his big pay day never materialized. After that, he had the domestic issue with his wife.
