“From Court to Career: Discover the Surprising New Paths These Retired NBA Stars Are Taking!”
Adrian Dantley – Crossing Guard
This might be the most surprising post-NBA job on our list. Adrian Dantley had a 15-year NBA career that ended with him scoring 23,000 points and being inducted into the Hall of Fame. In 2010, Dantley, who had been coaching, left the league for good and became a crossing guard.
The low-profile job reportedly pays Dantley $14,000 a year, so we know he’s not in it for the money. According to the big man himself, he enjoys helping other people. It doesn’t hurt the job provides health benefits, too. Dantley also works as a referee for high school and recreational teams during his spare time.
Detlef Schrempf – Business Development Officer
In college, Detlef Schrempf majored in International Business. As soon as his 16-year NBA career was over, he put his degree to good use, signing up to work for Coldstream Capital Management as a business development officer.
On top of his 9-5, Schrempf has also dipped his toe into acting. He had a recurring role on Parks and Recreation while it was on the air, and looked very comfortable in front of the camera.
Brandon Roy – High School Basketball Coach
Many analysts believed Brandon Roy was on his way to a Hall of Fame NBA career when knee injuries derailed his future. Roy’s knee never recovered correctly and he was forced to retire young. Initially, he attempted a second career in broadcasting, only to learn he wasn’t a fit.
