Derrick Coleman: Water Supplier
Derrick Coleman Water Supplier
Even though he played NBA basketball for fifteen years, Derrick Coleman still couldn’t shake being referred to as lazy by his coaches. Now done with his career, the pro baller is trying to put his energy to better use, working hard to help to bring water to families in impoverished communities.
His philanthropic work sees him on the ground in Michigan to ensure more people have access to clean drinking water. He often references the distress he sees around him, especially in poorer areas where the rust is visible on the pipes. Flint is a town that remains close to his heart, and he continues to try and make it a better town in any of his business endeavours.
Steve Francis: Entrepreneur

With almost ten NBA seasons to his name, Steve Francis decided that he wanted to try his hands at some other passion projects that were itching for him to jump into. One of those included the creation of an indie music label called Maserati Music, which didn’t end up lasting too long, although he claims to have learned a lot from the experience.
Not one to be down on himself for too long, a clothing line was his next venture. “We R One” launched not long after the idea was formed, although he has since had to put it on hold, while he starts to deal with some unforeseen financial problems.
