Ok, I don’t know who he is, but given the fact he was in the NBA I’m going to assume he’s pretty tall. Bet it looks funny (just funny, not “funny”) having a really tall crossing guard around a lot of short kids. But hey, no excuses by drivers “I didn’t see the crossing guard!” It would be ironic if he played guard in the NBA...
So it turns out NBA players CAN be trained to do something useful ...
Hey, that’s a far better deal than many NBA and ex-NBA players land.
Its an honest job
He took the job “for the health care benefits and to have something to do.”

Good for him! He has obviously had to make a lot of adjustments to deal with the unusual life-style changes he’s experienced. It sounds like he’s making good decisions.
Mike Tyson is at the other end of the spectrum.
In the mid-1970s, I was good friends with one daughter of Zolio Versalles (1965 MVP with the Minnesota Twins).
He worked as a janitor.
Ickey woods once tried to sell me car insurance.
Adult crossing guards.
Hmmm how times have changed.
I remember the ‘brown noser’ peers were Crossing Guards, it was the first training for becoming a Hall Monitor, which now are Armed Guards or locked doors....
Of course there was ‘always’ a Nun around with her ‘48” yardstick’ and various other weapons attached to her person, which she would use at the slightest provocation.

CONgress must be moving BACKWARD.
The first thing I thought of was Sonny Dove. He was a big deal at St. Johns (NY) and in the New York City area. He did a stint in the NBA. A few years later, separated from his wife, he was killed when the cab he was driving went off a drawbridge over the Gowanus Canal on the BQE (Brooklyn Queens Expressway). I thought at the time that it was suicide and I still do.
