Reeves Bruce Nelson (born September 18, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for Panelefsiniakos of the Greek Basket League. He played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins from 2009 until 2011, when he was dismissed from the team. He has also played in Mexico and Belgium. Nelson played professionally for Žalgiris Kaunas in the Lithuanian Basketball League for five weeks before being released. He then declared for the 2012 NBA draft, but was not selected. Nelson then spent a pre-season with the Los Angeles Lakers before playing with the Los Angeles D-Fenders and Delaware 87ers in the NBA Development League (D-League). ==College career== Nelson signed to attend University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after graduating from Modesto Christian High School in Modesto, California. He was called "the prototypical (coach ) Ben Howland player" by ESPN.com. He joined the UCLA Bruins team in 2009 as part of a five-player freshmen class that also included Tyler Honeycutt. Nelson finished his sophomore season as the Bruins' top scorer (13.9) and rebounder (9.1) in 2010–11, and he was named first team All-Pac-10. In his junior year, he played six games of the 2011–12 season before he was suspended by coach Ben Howland for being late to a team meeting and behavior that was considered insubordinate. Howland reinstated him two days later, but Nelson later missed a team flight on November 19, 2011. He was suspended again on December 6, and finally dismissed from the team three days later.〔 In February 2012, a ''Sports Illustrated'' article portrayed Nelson as a bully on and off the court, who at times intentionally tried to injure his teammates. According to the article, Howland looked the other way and did not discipline Nelson for over two years.〔 In May 2012, Nelson filed a defamation lawsuit against Time Inc., the parent company of ''Sports Illustrated'', seeking $10 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages, but it was thrown out of court in October 2012. The judge ruled that the suit interfered with freedom of speech rights of the magazine and writer, and the writer had a number of sources to corroborate the article. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reeves Nelson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
