It's awesome to see former athletes 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 to business... Grant Hill is joining the new Baltimore Orioles ownership group ⚾ Hill is also an investor in the Atlanta Hawks: 🏀 2015: $850m valuation 2023: $3.3B valuation And that's not all... • Grant Hill and his wife Tamia are part owners of Orlando City SC (MLS) and the Orlando Pride (NWSL) ⚽ • Hill is a basketball analyst on Turner Sports, wrote an autobiography, started a PE fund, and has an extensive portfolio of commercial real estate. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙚: 💭 ❶ Maximize your time as an athlete (growing your wealth and influence). ❷ As you near retirement, start taking on projects to make the transition easier. ❸ Once retired, used media to stay relevant (books, TV, events, radio, etc) and prioritize ownership through a portfolio of investments.

It's truly inspiring to witness former athletes like Grant Hill seamlessly transitioning to the world of business with such remarkable success! It's also noteworthy to mention Hill's lifetime deal with Fila, which serves as proof of his enduring influence and longevity. As a basketball hall of famer and brand ambassador for over two decades, Hill's partnership with Fila not only transcends sports but also leaves a lasting impact on fashion, showcasing his timeless appeal and marketability. 🌟 🏀👟💪 🚀

🎯 To point #2 - more players are embarking on the business portfolio earlier in the career to gain more years of learning and executing while leveraging prime years for deals.

I grew up cheering for the Milwaukee Bucks in the late 1970s/early 1980s, and one of the players I cheered for is another great example of business success. Junior Bridgeman spent 12 years in the NBA and never made more than $350,000/year. He's now worth more than $600 million due to his post-hardwood endeavors in the fast food and soft drink industries. And he now owns Ebony and Jet magazines. Great story.

One of the biggest “what ifs” in basketball history. But def one of the best to do it in his post-basketball career.
