Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Shareef Abdur-Rahim has, in my view, authored an even more impressive second act than his first. A 202-centimeter forward who battled through long NBA seasons, he transitioned into the executive world and now presides over the entire G League. I respect athletes who refuse to drift after retirement and instead invest themselves in building the next generation. From Marietta, Georgia, by way of California, he has carried his intelligence off the court into player development and league operations. Nicknamed Reef, he seems genuinely respected as a person, and I quietly applaud the unflashy, future-minded work he does now.
