It’s often difficult to imagine your favorites doing something with their lives after they’ve been in the sports world. However, many NBA stars chose to go down a very different path when they ended their pro basketball careers. People like Shaq and Charles Barkley chose TV careers to stay in the spotlight. Others invested their earnings in other fields. Sometimes, they become drivers and farmers.
You might be surprised to find out what your favorite ballers have been up to once they left the court. Still, it’s fun to see a glimpse of their lives outside of the basketball court!
