Vin Baker – From NBA All-Star To Starbucks Barista
Vin Baker was a beast during his prime, which resulted in him playing four consecutive All-Star games.
After his prime, Baker was struggling with alcohol and the alcoholism caused his career to get derailed, especially during his later years in Seattle and during his time with the Boston Celtics, where he would show up drunk for practices, only to get sent back home again.
After his career, thanks to bad investments, Baker lost all of his money, leading to him working at Starbucks only years after retiring from the NBA.
Baker used that chance to find back to success and has now found success in many different ways.
