Fessor Leonard dating history

Details

Fessor Lee Leonard (June 19, 1953 – February 20, 1978) was an American professional basketball player. Nicknamed "Moose", he was a highly sought-after prospect while playing at Carver High School in his hometown of Columbus, Georgia, and was selected as a Parade All-American in 1971. Leonard played college basketball for the Furman Paladins where he was an all-Southern Conference selection and won the conference championship all three years he played. He was selected in the 1975 NBA draft by the Washington Bullets and 1975 ABA draft by the Virginia Squires but difficulties with his agent meant that he was never offered a contract by either team. Leonard instead played professionally for Fortitudo Bologna in Italy and Federale Lugano in Switzerland. He died in Switzerland days after being released by Federale Lugano midway through his first season with the team.
