Oscar Robertson – An Advocate For Affordable Housing

This old-school basketball player enjoyed a long and successful career. During his 14-year NBA career, Oscar Robertson was a 12-time All-Star and retired as one of the league’s greatest scorers. His greatest notable accomplishment, however, was his work in Indianapolis to create affordable homes for African-Americans. His initiatives have resulted in major local improvements. In 2007, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by the University of Cincinnati. It was well-deserved!

Vin Baker – Starbucks Manager And Minister

Vin Baker made a lot of money throughout his 13-year NBA career, we’re sure. However, as a result of that chapter in his life, he ended up losing money. He struggled to adjust and is now a preacher at his father’s church as well as a Starbucks manager. He is aware that people may look down on him, but he is focused on his goals. “I squandered a lot of money. I used to have a fantastic talent that I had lost. Those on the outside who are peering in exclaim, ‘Wow.’ I’m 43 years old and the mother of four children. “I need to pick up the pieces,” he explained. The Milwaukee Bucks hired him as an assistant coach in 2019.
