Standing at an impressive 7 feet tall, this 7’0” center quickly made a name for himself on the basketball court. He was selected second overall in the 2022 NBA draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder, marking a major milestone in his rising career. Before joining the pros, he spent one standout season at Gonzaga University, where his performance played a key role in helping Gonzaga secure the No. 1 overall seed in the 2021-22 NCAA tournament. His impact was undeniable, and scouts took serious notice.

Before all the fame and spotlight, he was already dominating at the high school level. Playing for Minnehaha Academy, he helped lead the team to Class 2A state championships during both his freshman and sophomore years. By his junior year in 2019-20, he had guided Minnehaha Academy to an outstanding 25-3 record, further solidifying his reputation as a once-in-a-generation talent. It’s no surprise that ESPN ranked him as the #1 prospect in the entire high school class of 2021.

Family ties to the game run deep—his father, Dave, played college basketball for the University of Minnesota back in the 1980s, paving part of the path that he would later follow. With his size, skill, and legacy, it was clear from early on that he was destined for big things. Now, as he continues to develop with the Oklahoma City Thunder, fans are eager to see just how far he can go.

Since then, he’s been steadily building his presence online, especially on Instagram, where he shares a lot of his basketball content. His account, chet_holmgren, has really taken off—gaining a massive following over time. He continues to engage fans with updates, highlights, and insights into his life as a player, and it’s clear that his dedication is paying off.

C. Thomas Howell
C. Thomas Howell
Actor Movie

When he was just a teenager, this baby-faced leading man saw his career take off in a big way—thanks to his deeply moving performance as Ponyboy Curtis, the thoughtful greaser with a poet’s heart, in Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film *The Outsiders* (1983). Howell truly captured audiences’ attention back then, emerging as a standout among the young cast. For a brief moment, it seemed like Howell was on the fast track to lasting fame, gracing the covers of teen magazines and building a loyal fanbase. But as quickly as it began, that Tiger Beat spotlight started to fade after only a few years. Though he appeared in modest successes like *Red Dawn* (1984) and the comedy *Soul Man* (1986), Howell’s trajectory shifted. By the late '80s and into the 1990s, many of his roles landed straight to video or filled out TV movie slots—not exactly the kind of projects that reignite blockbuster momentum. Looking back at the all-star ensemble from *The Outsiders*, it's clear that Howell’s early promise was later eclipsed by the massive careers of his peers: Ralph Macchio soared with *The Karate Kid*, Emilio Estevez became a Brat Pack icon, and Tom Cruise? Well, *Top Gun* turned him into a global superstar almost overnight. Still, despite the changing tides of Hollywood, Howell never stopped working. He embraced his path with quiet determination, appearing in more than 50 films over the years. And while not all of them were critical darlings, Howell consistently brought sincerity and depth to his roles. Even when the scripts weren’t award-worthy, Howell held his ground as a dependable and heartfelt performer. So while the world may have moved on, Howell kept showing up—proving that a true actor’s journey isn’t always about the spotlight, but about staying true to the craft.
