Larry Nance Jr. has been close to fame since he was born, and continued making a name for himself in the NBA after being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans, thriving in the postseason. Even the son of a three-time All-Star who's enjoyed his own seven-year stint in the league, though, apparently isn't the most famous person from his high school.
Why? Revere High School, just outside Akron, Ohio, doesn't only count Nance as a famous alumnus, but also Jeffery Dahmer—and the former has no idea how to surpass the notorious serial killer's level of fame.
You would think so… but, I’m not sure what I’d have to do to pass Jeffery Dahmer https://t.co/E05wHZ6j66

Dahmer brutally killed 17 people from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, finally being convicted of 15 first-degree murder charges in February 1992. His decade-plus rampage across Wisconsin and Ohio eventually terrified locals and captivated the country, sparking countless fictionalized and documentary accounts of Dahmher's life and murders in the aftermath of his conviction and death in 1994.
Dahmer and his family moved from Milwaukee to Bath Township, Ohio in 1968, when he was eight. He graduated from Revere High School a decade later, 33 years before Nance finished his prep career with the Minutemen in 2011.
Only so many stars in the NBA are better known domestically than Dahmer. It's obviously no shame that Nance, whose versatile skill set makes him an increasingly valuable role player on both sides of the ball, isn't more famous than one of the most vicious serial killers ever.
At least one Twitter user seems confident they know how the Pelicans big man could change that, though.
