City / Sports Ex-NBA Star for Mayor? Wouldn't be the First Time...
Posted by Erica C. Barnett on Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 2:50 PM
It happened in Sacramento, where Kevin Johnson, a three-time NBA All-Star as point guard for the Phoenix Suns, was elected mayor in 2008. And it could happen in Detroit, where former Pistons guard and seven-time All-Star Dave Bing came in first in this month's primary to replace ex-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who resigned. Maybe ex-Sonics center James Donaldson's rumored bid for mayor isn't so quixotic after all.
