From the Court to the Boardroom
First things first, if you've been living under a rock (or maybe just not a basketball fan), David Robinson was a powerhouse in the NBA. He played center for the San Antonio Spurs, winning two championships and being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. But after hanging up his jersey, he didn't just sit back and enjoy the view from the sidelines. No, no, no. This guy's got more energy than a toddler on a sugar high!
Robinson's first foray into the business world was with his own investment firm, Admiral Capital. You might be thinking, "Admiral? Like the navy rank?" Yep, that's right. Turns out, our man David was also a former Navy officer. Talk about a versatile guy, huh?
