Where in the World is Big Country Bryant Reeves?





In his college years at Oklahoma State, Bryant Reeves was an imposing physical presence, with a crafted goatee and towering over his opponents at 7’0”, 275lbs. In 1995, his OSU Cowboys went all the way to the Final Four (before bowing out to Ed O’Bannon, George Zidek and Tyus Edney at UCLA). It wasn’t long before the “great big man drought of 97” had GM’s running to sign anyone over 6’11”, and Bryant Reeves, with an impressive college career and tourney run, would get called up by the then Vancouver Grizzlies. *The Canadian Vancouver

Where in the world is Bryant Reeves now? He has been spotted running shifts at a variety of Applebees in Tulsa and even on the basketball courts of his former Junior High School back in Oklahoma.

Check out this 1995 dig on "Big Country" by Michelle Tafoya. Holy shit, was 1995 Oklahoma, 1984 Indiana? His Dad's stache is classic in this video
