Former clipper shows up to clippers game wearing his own old jersey

[InTheDrink]

Had to be the real Keith Closs cuz there aren't many other 7'3" 200lb guys out there

[rm18]

Only other guy I seen do that that Ricky Irvin rb for the redskins

[will2survive]

simply pathetic

[InTheDrink]

I've always said a grown man wearing another mans name on his back is teh ghey. At least it's his own name

And apparently there's a video of this guy catching a beat down but I'm too lazy to grab it

i remember seeing that dude at patriots game at old foxboro stadium when i was in high school...and he was still at central ct....i actually knew who he was...he was hard to miss....dude let the country in blocks for two years

kinda pathetic...but kinda funny....i mean...if he was in normal clothes people would stare and be like "who the **** is that"...im sure the diehards would recognize him but closs wanted to erase any doubts and make sure they remembered him lol

[bobby heenan]

hahaha i just looked up his wikipedia....peep this nugget

Basketball website SLAMonline reported in October 2008 that a reader based in China by the name of Jon had e-mailed them, claiming that in a nightclub in Nanjing he encountered a 7-foot man wearing a current, customized #33 Dallas Mavericks jersey with the name "Closs" on the back. Jon asked him if he was Closs, and the man affirmed he was.^[4]
Closs admitted to being an alcoholic, even before joining the Clippers. The pressure of the NBA only led to more drinking and after three DUI offenses, he finally sought help in 2007. During a 2008 interview, he said he had turned his life around, having given up the addicition for good.^[5]

I was dying at the beginning when it looked like he was some dude standing on a car

[bobby heenan]

i dunno...maybe its old news..maybe im the only one who finds it funny....but the idea of closs rocking a mavericks jersey with his name on it at a club in china is hilarious to me....not sure he ever played with the mavs....10 day contract?

I didn't realize he wasn't until I read this.

I love the big giant kick he throws

[NYSportsGuy210]

I never even heard of this guy. Kinda looks like a 7'5" foot Michael Beasley.

[rm18]

hes been out of the league over 10 years

[BigPage25]

I remember attending 1 of my friends alcoholics anonymous class with him and Keith Closs was in their.... He was actually a pretty cool dude and spoke to my boy about the dangers of binge drinking

[will2survive]

Closs still hold's the NCAA Record for blocks per season at 5.87 per game and had a great year in China in 2008 but wearing his jersey in the crowd, ruined his rep

Wow the memories. Im from the same town Closs went to college in, New Britain CT. There was a story of him getting his ass beat in downtown Hartford by a dude who hit him with a bicycle. Not ran him over, but picked up a bike and smashed him with it WWE style multiple times. Some drunks love to get into fights.
