Steds reunion: Johnson and Connaughton
... invite. Pat Connaughton, former Stedsman and ND Mens Basketball player, was always a stand out guy while at Steds and ND, and it appears that he is continuing to do so in the NBA. Playing forward and guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, Pat likes to reconnect with his ND Family while playing on the road. Recently, while playing the Atlanta Hawks, Steds senior and Atlantan, Eddie Johnson, was invited to join Pat for dinner. On having dinner with Connaughton, Johnson said, "Having been a huge fan of Pat for years, getting the chance to meet him was one of the coolest experiences I've had. It was a great night hearing his takes on ND sports, the NBA, and business. Although Pat struggled with my recommendation for dinner, southern style shrimp, it was a great evening of conversation and learning how to peel shrimp.”
