Jonathan Bender: Medical Device Mogul
Jonathan Bender, who went straight from high school to the NBA, was the fifth overall pick in the 1999 NBA draft. His large 7-foot frame and athletic prowess served him well in high school, but the big league was a different story. Jonathan made the decision to retire early and work in the medical device industry. He had knee pain and decided to make something to help others who were in the same boat. The JBIT MedPro, also known as the JB Intensive Trainer, provides physical therapy, rehab, and training to athletes all over the world.
