Wilt Chamberlain: Practically Everything

Wilt Chamberlain retired in 1973, but he was in fact the best player ever to have laced up on court at that period. To figure out which career was right for him, he tried his hand at any work pool possible after retiring. He settled into being a pitchman for life in the end. Chamberlain sadly died in 1999 due to heart failure but he is not really away as his memory lives on in his advertisements as well as his highlight reel.

Gilbert Arenas: Sports Analyst

People just didn’t expect Gilbert Arenas to be as good as he was as a player. He was the 31st pick in the 2001 Draft, but during his career, he ended up receiving $163 million. You would think he’d never work another day after retirement, but we assume he loves the grind. Ever since his retirement, he has not necessarily gone full 9-5, he has preferred to remain in the business. He is a sports analyst at Complex and is currently running a YouTube sports show for them.
