Carl Weathers
Before Carl Weathers went on to be a sensation on the silver screen, he was a gridiron first. He did not get drafted after finishing college in 1970, although he eventually signed with the Oakland Raiders and played seven games for them over the course of two seasons. After his brief stint in the NFL, he played for the B.C. Lions in CFL from 1971 to 1974. When he went into acting, he made it big. The ex-football player bagged the role of Apollo Creed in the Rocky franchise opposite Sylvester Stallone. He kept acting alongside other entertainment industry titans. He starred in Predator alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Happy Gilmore with Adam Sandler. Quite the opposite of some people here, he managed to achieve more fame when he took on his second career.

Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan is known by a number of names: Air Jordan, the GOAT, His Airness, The Face of Basketball. He dominated the NBA court ever since his first day. We are sure numerous ballers breathed sighs of relief after he retired. Among his many glorious basketball accolades, Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championship titles and collected five MVP awards. Although he played his last game in 2003, his influence in the sport continues to stand. This legend has never gone out of style thanks to his legendary Air Jordan shoe line and Jordan Brand apparel. It seems he simply cannot stand to be away from the game. Jordan purchased a minority stake for the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006. By 2010, he was a majority stakeholder of the team, now called the Charlotte Hornets.
