Vin Baker says working at Starbucks after making $100,000,000 in the NBA became one of the best years of his life
“So many articles came out saying, ‘NBA player made $100 million, now working at Starbucks.’”
“To be perfectly honest, it was one of the best years of my life.”
“I was happy that I was sober.”
“I was waking up every morning not needing alcohol or drugs.”
“I was actually doing the job.”
“I’d close the store at 11:30 at night and be back at 4 in the morning to open it.”
“It disciplined me.”
“Going from an All-NBA player to being a Starbucks manager takes a level of humility.”

“So fast forward to 2008, I received $1,000,000 from an old sponsor. Swimming for one week to get a bonus of a million bucks”
“I broke seven world records that week. Every world record, you get a bonus. Every gold medal, you get a bonus”
