Vincent Jerome Askew (born February 28, 1966) is a retired American professional basketball player who was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round (39th overall) of the 1987 NBA Draft. A 6'6" guard-forward from Memphis State University, Askew played in nine NBA seasons for eight different teams. He is a cousin of rapper Teflon Don. He was raised by his grandmother who had 13 kids and custody of Askew and three cousins.〔https://vimeo.com/96034303〕 == College career == Askew was a Frayser High School graduate before enrolling at Memphis State University. He was a key player on the Tigers' 1984-85 squad that reached the Final Four. Askew was one of the more complete players on the team, capable of banging down low one possession and running the point the next. Vincent Askew was named to the Metro All-Freshman Team.〔http://www.gotigersgo.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/022415aaa.html〕 After the Final Four season, Askew found himself in the midst of a debate on NCAA regulations when he briefly considered transferring to Kansas. In October 1986, Vincent Askew was involved in a possible transfer to the University of Kansas. He did not transfer, and re-enrolled at Memphis State University in the fall of 1986. While Askew was visiting the Jayhawks, then-coach Larry Brown provided Askew with a plane ticket to fly back to Memphis to see his dying grandmother. The purchase of the plane ticket violated NCAA rules and Kansas was served with NCAA sanctions because of their recruitment of Askew, mainly involving “improper recruiting inducements totaling at least $1,244 to the above-mentioned young man.”〔(KUsports.com - NCAA Penalty Hits KU Hard )〕 NBA scouts saw in Askew the kind of versatile, durable talent that would keep him in the NBA for years. Askew left after three seasons with the Tigers, a decision many scouts met with raised eyebrows.〔(<$BlogTitle$> )〕 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「Vincent Askew」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
