Jay Williams: Spokesman
Jay Williams Spokesman
When he was drafted by the Bulls, Jay Williams was dubbed as one of the best to join the league. It’s safe to say that people were excited about his prospects. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be, and a motorcycle accident meant the end of his contract and his career was over just like that.
Working through a sudden loss like that was surely traumatic, but since, Williams has decided to dedicate his time towards becoming a spokesman, to help others gain strength from his story. He is also the face of Visions Federal Credit Union, which is a bit of a less glamorous job. From time to tie, you can see him as a college basketball analyst on ESPN too.
Antoine Walker: Financial Advisor
Antoine Walker Financial Advisor
With over $100m in the bank in his thirteen season career, Antoine Walker was surely never going to be able to spend it all, right? Wrong. Byways that only he can understand, or possibly some others who have faced similar challenges, he ultimately had to file for bankruptcy in 2010. Yikes.
In 2013, with his debts paid off, his second career chapter started in the form of a job with Morgan Stanley Global Sports and Entertainment, to do what, you ask? Teaching financial literacy to up-and-coming stars. Now this is a way to pay things forward (excuse the pun). Everyone needs someone to tell them that it’s a bad idea to own a couple of yachts, without any savings.
