When it comes to the OGs of NBA, Vinnie Johnson is one of the first names that springs to mind. Despite his legendary status, Johnson famously only earned US$6 million during his basketball career between 1979 and 1992.

After retiring, he founded an automotive company called the Piston Group, the world’s largest value add assembly supplier. As founder, chairman and CEO of the company, Johnson took his wealth to new heights and is now worth half-a-billion dollars, per Capital Journal.

You mean his business doesn't make Microwaves? Missed opportunity!

Slightly unrelated, but I feel like Scoot could excel in a roll like Johnson played off the bench for Detroit. At least for the early part of Scoot’s career.

Apparently Chauncey currently agrees.
