My Take
Darvin Ham's story is the kind I gravitate toward because it's all about persistence. Born in Saginaw, Michigan in 1973, he played at Texas Tech and then carved out nine NBA seasons from 1996 to 2005 as a tough, hardworking role player rather than a star. What impresses me more is his second act. He transitioned into coaching, eventually landing the head job with the Los Angeles Lakers before joining the Milwaukee Bucks as a top assistant. That arc from grinder on the floor to a respected basketball mind speaks to a deep understanding of the game and real staying power.
