Junior Bridgeman, former NBA sixth man and billionaire entrepreneur, passed away Tuesday at 71 after suffering a medical emergency in Louisville, Kentucky.
Bridgeman, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and LA Clippers, built a fast-food empire post-retirement, later becoming a Coca-Cola bottling distributor and a minority owner of the Bucks. His business acumen made him one of the wealthiest former athletes, surpassing $1.4 billion in net worth. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver praised him as a mentor for financial literacy among players.
From modest beginnings to NBA success and business greatness, Bridgeman’s legacy will endure as an inspiration to athletes and entrepreneurs alike.
