Former Panther Herman Favors still chasing the dream

Native Atlantan Herman Favors has been there, done that -- repeatedly. The onetime Georgia State point guard spent the past four seasons hop-scotching countries, playing in each.


"Holland, Sweden, France, Venezuela," said Favors, who schooled at Pace Academy.

Favors would gladly put away his dog-eared passport for a while, having played stateside in Texas with another pro minor league and attended a New York Knicks camp. But he will follow his muse, no matter where it takes him.

"This is the life that I choose," he said. "I love it."

Favors was one of a few legitimate candidates hoping to help teams overcome their fear of height -- that is, lack of height. He is 5-foot-9, wee for his profession, though he towered over another quicksilver prospect.
