Vin Baker

There was a time when Vin Baker was one of the best power forwards in the league. The 6’11” man could not only bang in the post but stretch the floor as well. This 4-time All-Star pick played for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Seattle SuperSonics. Sadly, his personal life had been a bit of a mess. He dealt with alcohol abuse and squandered $100 million. It was a good thing that he managed to turn things around. Baker has been sober since 2011 and once worked as the manager of a Connecticut Starbucks location. Aside from this, he also worked as a TV analyst for the Bucks. In 2018, he got hired as an assistant coach for the same team.

Oliver Miller

Oliver Miller got a lot of flak for his weight, but he was always a skilled player. Sadly, he failed to reach his full potential because of this ability to get in perfect shape. He bounced around without much consistency to offer. When his NBA career ended, he had to deal with a lot of personal life problems. In 2011, he was involved in a fight at a barbecue and got charged with both first and second-degree assault. He got five years of jail time but only served one of them. He then relocated to Arizona and reportedly sold cars. He has worked hard to shed some weight and lost 60 pounds by 2018!
