Pee Wee Kirkland

Richard "Pee Wee" Kirkland (born May 6, 1945) is an American streetball player and drug trafficker.[1] The Spartans won the CIAA title in 1968 with a 25–2 record; they lost in the second round of the NCAA Division II Men's Tournament.It is speculated that he turned the offer down because he was making more money in current ventures, including being a drug dealer, than he would in professional basketball.[4][dubious – discuss] He presents his messages in the "School of Skillz"—a basketball and life skills campaign that is co-sponsored by Nike.As an educator and social worker, Kirkland utilizes the respect he receives from young people because of his gangster past to reach at-risk youth and break down their misconceptions about "keepin' it real" on the streets.
