Vinnie Johnson: CEO Of The Piston Group Manufacturing Company

Fondly remembered as one of the league’s “Bad Boys” by NBA fans, Vinnie Johnson was with the Detroit Pistons when he won titles both in 1989 and 1990. When he retired in 1992, he found his true calling and started the Piston Group, which used to be a small manufacturing company but has now become a multi-million dollar asset. Johnson continues to work as CEO and has proven that he is not just an NBA superstar, but also a life superstar!

Darko Milicic: Apple Grower

Darko Milicic proclaims himself as the all-time biggest NBA draft bust, probably because he was the second overall pick back in 2003. Milicic bounced around the league before joining the Celtics and later called it quits in 2012. While he took the time to train and become a kickboxer, he is currently leading a peaceful life on his 125-acre farm in Serbia.  Needless to say, the aggressive sport wasn’t really fit for him and he seems to prefer to walk rows of apple trees up and down.
