Almost 21 years after he first enrolled in college - as a celebrated basketball phenom from New York City -- Kenny Anderson will graduate with honors, walking across the stage Saturday afternoon in cap and gown, accepting his diploma from St. Thomas University in Miami.It might be the proudest day of his life.
"It's going to be a very emotional moment for me,'' Anderson told FanHouse Thursday. "It might surprise a lot of people. To be honest, I wasn't always sure I had it in me.''
Anderson, 39, has traveled a long and winding road since starting school at Georgia Tech in 1989, looking for fame and fortune.
There have been tremendous highs -- he was the No. 2 pick in the 1991 NBA Draft, an NBA All-Star in 1994 -- but also some mind-boggling lows -- squandering a fortune made in a 14-year NBA career.
And much of it seems so long ago.
