(Photo: Associated Press) How We Set Up Our Professional Athletes to Fail BY SAM RICHES (HTTP://WWW.PSMAG.COM/AUTHOR/SAM-RICHES/) • February 18, 2014 • 8:00 AM For every Michael Jordan, there’s at least one Keon Clark. Or an Allen Iverson. Or a Junior Seau. The machinery of professional sports churns through its athletes and spits them out on the other side. • Keon Clark played in the NBA for six years, which is about the average length of a career in professional sports. He wasn’t forced out of the game by injury or the churn of time and the erosion of his skills. He left at 28 years old, still talented and capable enough to play, but unable to make it past halftime without a drink. He had entered the NBA in a draft class that included Vince Carter, arguably the greatest dunker of all time, but it was Clark and his inherent athleticism that had captured the interest of the NBA. “He has immense athletic ability, maybe more than any other player in the draft,” one general manager told Sports Illustrated (http://www.si.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1013171/index.htm). “He’s got a chance to be a special player in this league,” said another. “Keon’s got a lot of talent and a lot of potential,” added one of his coaches, “but I don’t think he understands how good he can be.” He was a tangle of long, skinny limbs in a near seven-foot frame, gifted with natural leaping ability.
