Hall-of-Famer Adrian Dantley Works As A School Crossing Guard Now

[Scholar]

by Zettler Clay IV

Not many can boast the skills of a gold medalist, basketball Hall-of-Fame slasher. Even fewer can translate such career into life as an “anonymous” school crossing guard.

But Adrian Dantley, 58,*doesn’t mind the $15K/year salary in Silver Spring, Maryland if it means taking on a task with some meaning in his post-ball days.

“It’s not beneath me,” he said. “I’m a regular guy. I just played basketball. I’m a Hall of Famer. And I like working.”


Over/under on the percentage of the crossing children who know he played with Dennis Rodman*and Isiah Thomas? I’m going with 5 percent. Under.

That's pretty nice, but to be honest, if he still has his millions, all he's doing is taking a job out of the hands of someone who might really need it.

Still, I can't argue against how cool it'd be to have a HOF baller lead you across the street safely.
