Some Famous People called Rex Chapman
Rex Chapman
Rex Everett Chapman (born October 5, 1967) is an American former professional basketball player and social media influencer. Chapman was a high school phenom in Kentucky, winning numerous awards for his play. In two seasons at the University of Kentucky, he won further awards and scored more than 1,000 points. Chapman was the first draft pick of the expansion Charlotte Hornets and played on four National Basketball Association (NBA) teams. Over his 12-year career, he averaged 14.6 points per game and appeared in two slam dunk competitions.
Injuries sustained on NBA courts led Chapman to an addiction to opioids. Following an arrest for shoplifting, he entered drug rehab for the third time and was able to overcome his addiction. After retiring, Chapman also held several jobs with NBA teams culminating in being the vice president of player personnel with the Denver Nuggets. He currently serves as a broadcaster for University of Kentucky basketball games. Chapman, to his surprise, became popular on Twitter by tweeting videos, frequently light-hearted or inspiring, to his followers.
