    Dude's like Junior Bridgeman are never highlighted for maybe two reasons. One, the media is not interested in pushing a narrative of intelligent athletes doing extremely well after their career is over. Two: These guys are too busy to be holding convos on that they're trying to achieve -they're too busy doing it consistently. Junior Bridgeman, Vinny the Microwave Johnson, Dave Bing, retired Minnesota State Supreme Court Judge Alan Page, Dr. Samkon Gado, the list is endless.

      That crazy. The media is not interested in pushing the narrative on successful intelligent athletes? All they have to do is speak up but they choose not to. Too many people blame the media for EVERYTHING! An intelligent athlete is just like any intelligent person out there and we don't here about those people either. I guess if you put "athlete" in front, it makes them special.

      Junior Bridgeman was an excellent 6th man for the Milwaukee bucks in the 80s. Another great part of the story about his success is the fact that his son and daughter both got their masters degrees and they are actively involved with running the various businesses. He created his family's generational wealth.

    Ulysses Lee "Junior" Bridgeman (born September 17, 1953) is an American businessman and former professional basketball player. Bridgeman played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) for twelve years from 1975 until 1987, beginning with the Milwaukee Bucks. Bridgeman is the current owner of Ebony and Jet magazines. Despite never making more than $350,000 a season during his NBA career, Bridgeman has a net worth of over $600 million, making him one of the wealthiest former athletes in the world.

    I take issue with the notion that individuals don't owe anything to their parents. Consider the case of Kobe Bryant-his parents invested heavily in his development, and it's only fair that they be compensated in return. This idea of independence from familial responsibilities is starkly contrasted by the values of other cultures where mutual investment is the norm: parents nurture their children, and in turn, children support their parents. This reciprocal relationship helps advance the entire community. The prevalent Western ideology that emphasizes individualism over collective family obligations is not only detrimental to societal cohesion but also undermines the foundational structures of family.
