During his 7-year career at the Brooklyn Nets veteran Trevor Booker’s had a career year last season. He averaged 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists on 51.6% shooting from the field.

But maybe his antics off the field are even more impressive as he is clearly preparing to not be one of the NBA’s former millionaires, the once rich who are now broke!

He already owns 18 companies in varied areas and is pushing hard to make sure he is financially secure and investing in things that help to grow people.

Talking to Business Insider he said:

“To say that I’m an entrepreneur is an understatement,”

The article went onto say:

It was with this in mind that Booker visited San Francisco and Silicon Valley this week with 13 other players on a tour organized by the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA). As part of the tour the players met with representatives of tech firms IBM, Intel and STRIVR.

For Booker, STRIVR was the highlight. The company is working on ways to train people using virtual reality headsets. It’s focused particularly on training college and professional athletes, giving them a chance to experience scenarios that might come up in games without having to break a sweat.

“I could definitely see myself using it as an athlete,” Booker said of STRIVR’s virtual reality training device. “They can help you shoot a game in real time and shoot it from your point of view.”

THIS is where players should be celebrated.
