Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know. A couple more examples are Dave Bing who made hundreds of millions owning a steel company and Junior Bridgeman who owned a lot of Wendy’s and Chili’s franchises.
I want to add Jason Richardson, drafted 2001. He just finished BA in college just this year, there is not that much information on him but he's 2x dunk contest champ.
He played as guards for the Suns, Magic, 76ers and Warriors.
So, there are a lot of ways for them to still go on and have a better life after NBA depending on how they manage their finances or path they want to take.
Ohh, I love JRich during his time with the Phoenix Suns. That dude plays phenomenal, and I am a big Suns fan during his time with Steve Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire.
I love players who will still do something good with their money after they retire in the NBA, and I think this is the best path for them since there might be no money coming after the NBA, and they will need more for their family and then retirement.
Nice, I thought nobody will recognize him.
And we all love these guys that did good with how they have managed their wealth after their fame and contract have faded.
If he finished a Bachelor's or Arts degree in Sports Management, then I think he must have a job that is already waiting for him. Coaching? Trainer?
Most likely either of the two.
And I think he'd be easily accepted into college basketball teams that look for someone who's experienced in the NBA.
