LaRue Martin: UPS Community Services Manager
LaRue Martin was the first overall NBA Draft pick back in 1972. He was full of potential, but four years into his NBA career, his potential seemed to have dried up and the league let him go. Since Martin needed to make a living, he got a UPS entry-level job. His perseverance and patience paid off and he was promoted to Community Services Manager in 2005. Aside from his 9-5 job, he also serves on the board of directors of the NBRPA (National Basketball Retired Players Association).

Mark Blount: Franchise Owner of Auntie Anne’s
In 1997, Mark Blount joined the NBA, but he only made his debut in 2001, playing for the Celtics. After an unspectacular career, he retired in 2009 and invested his money on two franchises of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels. Actually, there is another former NBA star that loves Auntie Anne’s. Shaq may not be included in this list, but he is a proud franchisee of the snack stand staple as well. Next time you go order a pretzel at the mall, try to see who is working – you never know who is going to be there.
