Adrian Dantley was an old school player for 15 seasons in The Association. Now, he's an elementary and middle school crossing guard in Maryland. The former forward/guard keeps kids moving forward and guards them from motorists. As a career 24.3 ppg scorer, Dantley knew how to navigate through traffic. Today, he helps children do so safely. "I think it’s more dangerous out here than me playing one-on-one or me taking a hard foul from an NBA player," Dantley said. We're not sure that's Acura-te.
Dantley told CNN he took the public service position, which is only one hour of work a week, because he was bored and for the benefits, claiming he paid $17,000 last year for health insurance*. In a way, Dantley, who was an assistant coach in the league with Denver until 2010, is like an NBA referee - he lets everyone walk.
*This could prompt Karl Malone to consider becoming an actual mailman.
