George Reese was a member of the 1999 Final Four team and won the Big Ten championship in 2000. Reese, currently a free agent, has played both nationally and internationally, most recently in Poland where he was a three time all-star.

?This is more about awareness and we use basketball as a vehicle to raise money for a cause,? Reese said. ?Something that I love to do and giving back is something to do. I?m trying to get involved with good causes. That?s how it?s supposed to be ?break the cycle and raise awareness. You want kids to be better than you.?

Having lost his mother four years ago to cancer, Reese takes this battle personally.

?I do walks and golf tournaments,? Reese said. ?I?m all about that. People need to do that. I want to do more.?

Reese needs four classes to obtain his degree ? something he promised his mother ? and is still open to another opportunity to play professionally. His first love was football, but his cousins from Lima showed him highlights of former Lima Senior and OSU standout Greg Simpson. Reese traded the cleats for sneakers and the rest is history.

After 12 professional seasons in the United States and worldwide, Reese has spent his time pouring back into the Columbus community where he grew up. He recently launched a mentorship program called ACE for freshman boys at his alma mater Independence High School on the city's southwest side. When Reese introduced the program last week, he brought a few familiar faces, including Seth Towns, Zed Key and Isaac “Ice” Likekele.
