Former NBA Players Who Surprised Everyone With Their Choice of Jobs After Retirement
LaRue Martin – Community Services Manager At UPS
Former No. 1 overall pick LaRue Martin is one of the best examples of how a career turned out to be big at the onset, but gradually fizzled out. The Portland Trail Blazers was the top pick on Martin in 1972, just before the team Buffalo Braves drafted Bob McAdoo. Things did not work out for Martin in the NBA, and he sought a much better path with the United Parcel Service or UPS.
He quit the league and went to work for UPS as an entry-level employee to pay for the expenses. His perseverance and hard effort were suitably rewarded. In 2005, he was promoted to Community Services Manager.
Apart from his regular job, he has also been a member of the National Basketball Retired Players Association’s Board of Directors. He seems to be happy in his new job role.

灼熱のスマートホーム：暴走した「最新エアコン」が招いた熱中症死 【記事本文】 すべての家電をスマホで操作できる、最新の「スマートホーム」。そこで一人暮らしをしていた高齢男性が、熱中症で死亡しているのが発見された。室内温度は40度を超えていたという。 驚くべきことに、エアコンのアプリ上では「冷房稼働中」と表示されていたが、実際にはシステムのバグにより室外機が停止し、送風のみが続いていたのだ。外出先から親族が温度をチェックしていたが、表示される「偽りの数値」を信じ込んでしまった。テクノロジーへの過信が、静かな死を招くという現代ならではの落とし穴だった。
