Michael Ray Richardson: Substitute Teacher
Michael “Sugar” Ray Richardson had a two-decade professional basketball career. In case you haven’t noticed, that’s 24 years! While he did start in the NBA, he also played in other leagues, most of them in Europe, for over a decade. The NBA commissioner banned Richardson from playing in the NBA for the rest of his life. However, in 1988, he was reinstated. In 2002, he retired from playing basketball and turned to coaching, doing it for a few years until he found substitute teaching, his second and new-found love. Richardson is now in his 60s but he still teaches in Oklahoma and does basketball camps for kids who are underprivileged.

Shawn Kemp: Owner Of A Sports Bar
After Shawn Kemp’s retirement in 2003, he couldn’t really stay away from the game. So, he decided to open his very own sports bar named Oskar’s Kitchen, in Seattle. It was a brave step for this former basketball player, and he kept the business going as long as he could afford to pay the rent. However, he eventually had to give it up in 2015. Despite this setback, he continues to work in the field of hospitality as he is part owner of the Seattle restaurant, Amber’s Kitchen.
