Corsley Edwards has achieved the dream.
Despite playing at little-known Central Connecticut State University, the Baltimore native and Lake Clifton alum was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 58th pick of the 2002 NBA Draft. After playing in what is now known as the G-League and overseas in Italy, Edwards reached the pinnacle of basketball: playing for the New Orleans Hornets (now known as the Pelicans) during the 2004-05 season.
Unfortunately for Edwards, that would be his only season in the NBA. Throughout the next decade, his career would take him back to the G League, then to Turkey, then to Spain, then back to the G-League, then back to Turkey, then back to multiple teams in Spain, then on to Puerto Rico, then to the United Arab Emirates, then to China, then back to the UAE, then back to China, then back to the G-League, then to Egypt, then back to Puerto Rico, then to Croatia, then to Poland, then to Bosnia and Herzegovina, then to Lebanon and finally back to Turkey. Then he spent a few years coaching in the NBA and G-League.
