Vinnie Johnson: CEO Of The Piston Group Manufacturing Company
Many fans remember Vinnie Johnson as one of the NBA’s “Bad Boys.” In 1989 and 1990, he was a member of the Detroit Pistons, who won the NBA Championship. After retiring in 2002, he discovered his true calling and founded the Piston Group, which began as a small manufacturing firm but has since grown to a multi-billion-dollar corporation. Johnson is still the CEO of the Piston Group today, proving that he is not only a basketball superstar, but also a real-life superstar!
Darko Milicic: Apple Grower
Darko Milicic referred to himself as the NBA’s all-time biggest draft bust, owing to his selection as the second overall pick in 2003. Before joining the Celtics, Milicic had essentially bounced from one team to the next in the league. In 2012, he announced his retirement. He is now living a quiet life in Serbia, where he grows apples on his 123-acre farm. He tried kickboxing for a short time, but the violent sports did not suit him, so he had to give it up and settle for a peaceful lie walking up and down his rows of apple trees.
