Months after his stroke, Kenny Anderson is still on his road to recovery and attending rehabilitation sessions to get his body back to it’s prior state. But as you can see, the brotha is coming along just fine, thank goodness.

His Tough Times

Via Undefeated: This is…the Kenny Anderson who was sexually abused as a boy, whose mother dealt with the demons of drug and alcohol addiction, who lost most of his NBA fortune and declared bankruptcy in 2005, who fathered seven children with five women, and who lost a high school coaching job in Florida after a 2013 DUI arrest.

His Current Job
Kenny once had a $63 MILLION fortune and admittedly blew most of it on cars, champagne, partying, etc. “I lived a fast life,” said Anderson, “and enjoyed every bit of it.”

Today he’s the men’s basketball coach at an HBCU, Fisk University.

When Kenny applied for the job, Fisk president, Kevin Rome, leaped at the opportunity to have him join the staff and give the school’s struggling enrollment a fighting chance, as well as give Kenny a second chance:

“I knew his story and the challenges he has faced, and one of the things we pride ourselves on at HBCUs is that we give people second chances. … “We don’t make the assumption that because someone has challenges that they don’t have value. With [Anderson’s] fame and skill set, I think he can transform our program and take it to a new level of competitiveness. It’s about exposure, but we’re going to give him time to build his own program. I don’t have unrealistic expectations.” – via Undefeated
