One of the many NBA giants, Shawn Brady had two stints in his career, one for the Philadelphia 76ers, and another for the New Jersey Nets. It would, however, be his role with the Dallas Mavericks that would be his most notable contribution to the sport. A small stint in ‘Space Jam’ aside, after leaving the sport in the early 2000’s, Brady began working with West Ridge Academy with at-risk youths as a coach a mentor. He later also got involved with politics, running as the Republican candidate in 2010 in Utah.

Maceo Baston: Cupcake Store Owner

In his time with the NBA, Maceo Baston played for two prominent teams, earning himself a reputation as a player to be counted upon by his teammates. After spending time seeing the world through the sport, he knew that the time would come for him to retire, and when it did, he was ready for a new venture. Alongside his wife, Maceo opened up a cupcake shop called ‘Taste Love Cupcakes’, which would eventually take over the market in Michigan. They even competed on the popular show Cupcake Wars where they earned the business a hefty $10 000. We hope this success continued for the couple!
