Sam Bowie was the first player drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers before Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan was selected in June 1984, and he went on to become an NBA legend. Where is Sam Bowie now?
Bowie now lives in Lexington, Kentucky. In addition to being a father, he owns harness racing horses, one of which won hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money. In addition, he is a public speaker.
“I want to give back to the community,” Bowie told Jeff Falk of Lebanon Sports Buzz in 2018. “I enjoy meeting the new kids at Kentucky. I don’t do anything physically with the kids on the court, it’s more just getting in their ears. I’m real flexible. I don’t have a concrete job. I’ve had opportunities, but I’ve been kind of content not committing to those positions. It’s nice to do as you please.”
