In the early ’90s, the Nets looked like a team on the rise, with a young core of Kenny Anderson, Drazen Petrovic and Derrick Coleman. Led by future Hall of Fame coach Chuck Daly, the Nets were 43-39 and pushed the 54-win Cavaliers to a decisive fifth game in the first round of the 1993 Eastern Conference playoffs. But everything changed on June 7, 1993, the day Petrovic died in a car crash in Europe. “When we had Drazen die,” Anderson said last night, “that turned the organization back a few years . . . more than that.” New York Post |

![]() What was always intriguing about Anderson was that even early on, he saw basketball as a job. In one of our first conversations, he said he was clear about why he was doing what he was doing. “I took my high school career as a job,” Anderson said when we spoke in 1988 as he was beginning his senior year of high school. “I knew I had to be here every day practicing. I couldn’t miss a practice because I’m saving my mother money.” He said he knew “that if I didn’t get a scholarship, I wasn’t going to college.” Last week, Anderson said that as he reflected on his life in basketball he realized that he was on a mission but had no agenda. “I didn’t have a plan, really,” he said. “My plan was to take care of my mother, and I did that for 19 years. All I wanted to do was get her out of the struggle.” New York Times The job at the Jewish school came about last summer when a friend who also attended Georgia Tech and had a child enrolled at Posnack asked Anderson on Twitter if he was interested in coaching. Anderson, who lives nearby, said he was. The friend arranged a meeting with Anderson and the school’s athletic director, Mitch Evron, and its new headmaster, Richard Cuenca. “He was very eager, down to earth, very easy to talk to,” Evron said in a phone interview. “You could see the passion in his eyes as he walked down the hallway and connected with kids.” The school has 500 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and tuition is $15,000 to $16,000 annually. Last year, Posnack recorded the highest grade-point average for all athletes in the state. The school has had success in tennis and swimming and has won four all-sports championships since 2005. New York Times How long will this unlikely marriage between Anderson and Posnack last? “We’re going to do everything we can to support him as long as we can, but we we’re going into this with both eyes open,” Cuenca said. “We understand that the time our kids have with him is measured.” Anderson said he had no firm plan. “I’m taking it one year at a time, one month at a time,” he said. “What I really want is to be happy going to work. “If I can impact somebody’s life, if he can say, ‘I learned something from Coach Anderson; he was a great coach and mentor,’ that’ll be great for me.” New York Times |

![]() Kenny Anderson isn’t looking back. He’s moving forward and thinks you should, too. The former Nets point guard is tired of people rehashing troubles he had financially and in his personal relationships. It’s the past, says Anderson, who likes where he is and what lies ahead. Bergen Record Anderson is taking his knowledge and experiences to South Florida and coaching the David Posnack Jewish Day School high school basketball team. Anderson, 40, is excited to teach kids about basketball and life, and admits he’s gone through needed changes in his. "If you do not change your ways after 15, 20 years, I think you’ve really got problems," Anderson said. "If you keep doing the same things you did when you were 20, 25 years old, I think you’ve got some problems." Anderson said he has no problems; he’s "fine" and "comfortable." He does seem to be in a good place personally and professionally. Bergen Record |

New York City hoops legend Kenny Anderson is joining the high school coaching ranks in Broward County. Anderson, 40, surprised Davie’s Posnack Day School with his interest in the head basketball coaching position, telling the school he wanted to give back to the community and “reach different clientele.” As if Posnack AD Mitch Evron needed any convincing, it was a slam-dunk hire for a program that has never made the regional playoffs.

Anderson, who retired in 2005, declined an interview request for this story. Ewing — as a member of the Orlando Magic coaching staff — is forbidden to speak on labor issues, under the threat of heavy fines from the commissioner’s office. Speaking on behalf of his former clients, Falk said: “I’m sure they do regret it, particularly Kenny. I’m sure Kenny regrets having said what he said.” But, Falk added, “I think anyone who is going to evaluate the lockout based on what happened 10 years ago is looking in the wrong direction.” New York Times |

In a Nets locker room filled with zany personalities, he was the voice of reason. When Rick Mahorn and Jayson Williams would take turns teasing Armen for his wardrobe or his Gumby haircut, Gilliam would smile and ignore them. When Derrick Coleman uttered his now infamous "Well whoop-dee-damn-do" line after Kenny Anderson blew off practice and headed for a strip club, Armen would roll his eyes at his young, immature teammates.

But it is so much easier to follow than lead - especially when the women and money are easy, too. Besides, youth is wasted on the young, and perspective and wisdom usually comes with age and your own mistakes, not the mistakes of others. The temptation around athletes is breathtaking and omnipresent. Combine fun and youth and money with beautiful women eager to be near it in a hip-hop culture that glorifies sexy excess. Throw in some gold-diggers, like the ex-wife of former NBA All-Star Kenny Anderson, who drives around with a license plate that reads "HISCASH." (Anderson declined to discuss that part of his past, saying little beyond that his mother begged him not to get married.) It isn't hard for an irresponsible athlete to sink in that world.

Basketball Wives cast member Tami Roman visited Miami Center for Dermatology on Friday with -- what else? -- producer and cameramen by her side. Roman was having her first tattoo removal procedure to erase the ``Kenny'' tattoo she got while married to NBA superstar Kenny Anderson. Roman hit it off so well with Dr. Deborah Longwill and her team that she was actually back the next day for, uh, additional services. I guess we know where Roman's storyline is going this season.
