Michael Ray Richardson: Substitute Teacher
Michael “Sugar” Ray Richardson played professional basketball for two decades. That’s 24 years, in case you didn’t notice. While he began his career in the NBA, he spent more than a decade in other leagues, the majority of which were in Europe. Richardson has been barred from playing in the NBA for the rest of his life by the NBA commissioner. In 1988, however, he was reinstated. He stopped playing basketball in 2002 and began coaching, which he did for a few years until he discovered substitute teaching, his second and newfound passion. Richardson is now in his 60s, but he continues to teach in Oklahoma and run basketball camps for underprivileged children.
