At the age of 14, Moses Malone scribbled in the back of his Bible that he wanted to be a professional athlete. He turned pro in 1974 after an ABA team recruited him from Virginia’s Petersburg High, becoming the first player to play professional basketball straight out of high school. Shortly after, Malone joined the NBA and became a three-time MVP and one of the league’s 50 greatest players of all time.

Bill Willoughby never experienced the NBA stardom he had hoped for, although blocking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s shot in the 1981 playoffs qualified as a memorable moment. Many regarded Willoughby’s struggles to assimilate from high school to the NBA as a primary reason why no one else made the jump for another two decades. Willoughby went on to obtain his college degree and now hopes to counsel young players.
