A weekly feature on this blog will be finding out what former college basketball stars are currently doing. This week features former Syracuse standout Gerry McNamara, class of 2006. After winning an NCAA championship as a freshman (with a little help from Carmelo Anthony), McNamara went on to have an illustrious career. A native of Scranton, McNamara achieved godlike status in his hometown; several busloads of Scrantonites frequently attended his games. So what's he doing now? Well after going undrafted, he signed a contract to play for Olympiacos in Greece, but was cut after just one game. He then played a season for the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Developmental League, before returning to Greece to pay for Panionos, with whom he lasted a whole four games. After a brief stint in Latvia, McNamara returned to the Developmental League with the Reno Bighorns, but was recently released. He is currently without a team and is said to be considering giving up basketball. My best advise to Gerry is to try to snag a cameo on "The Office" and then run for mayor of Scranton. Tune in next week when we catch up with Jason "Apollo" Frasor. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions for future "where are they nows."
I don't know what else you want to do, but McNamara could totally sweep for mayor of Scranton.
