Those who followed HS basketball back in the late 90s might remember a player from Evansville named Clint Keown. He was an Indiana All-Star in 1998.
Clint passed away today in an automobile accident.
Went on to play 2 seasons at UE for Jim Crews and then transferred to D2 South Carolina Aiken. He had a standout career there in both basketball and baseball. He played minor league baseball briefly.
The guy was almost larger than life here in Evansville. He became a tremendous prop gambler and poker player. He bet with the likes of Kevin Hart, Nelly, and Tobey Maguire. The stories he racked up doing that were legendary. He once hit 90 out of 100 free throws on roller skates for $50k.
More recently, he became a fantastic amateur golfer - a game he didn’t pick up until his 20s. One of the best players in the area.
Apparently he was over in Robinson, IL to play golf with a friend. RIP to a local legend.
