Per Philadelphia Tribune, After 13 years of playing professional basketball in Europe, Lynn Greer has decided to retire. Greer, a former Engineering & Science and Temple basketball star, playing in Turkey. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder, is looking forward to life after basketball.
“For the last two years, I’ve been debating about it,” said Greer, who also played in Greece, Poland, Italy, Russia. “I’ve done a lot of things as far as being in the NBA and playing in Europe at the highest level.
“The one thing I missed was spending time with my son (Lynn Greer III) and my wife (Solana). I’m away for so much of my 13 years. I think my son and my wife have been able to travel for only five of them. So, it’s so many years that goes by and you can’t get that time back. It becomes a point where it’s about building my family, growing with my family. When my son was young, he was able to travel with me. Now, he’s getting older. He’s actually a pretty good basketball player.”
