I have a great wife. Before you assume I did something wrong and needed to do something to fix it, hear me out. She likes watching sports with me. Sometimes we play a game while watching a game. We do it mostly while watching basketball or baseball. It's called What Else Would He Do?
You see, there are some athletes that don't look like athletes. They look like bankers or businessmen. Take John Stockton for example.
John Stockton looks like a math teacher. If you saw him on the street and never watched sports, you might not believe that he leads the NBA all-time in assists. But he does.
Here are a couple of others that we've pegged with different careers.
Christian Laetnner could be the lost member of the Backstreet Boys.
I think I like this game because I realize that none of us neccesarily looks like the typical version of the job that we have. Yes, I am a youth pastor and yes, I have a goatee. But it's not like it's the source of all my youth pastor power.
It's not just our looks either. Where we were born, what our parents did, which hand we eat candy bars with...none of this determines what we do.
The fact is that we all make choices. We can choose to work hard or we can choose not to work at all. Personally, I hope the NBA players choose to work. But that's just me. What about you? Have you ever imagined a professional athlete in a different type of job?

Brad Miller would be a banker.
Brian Scalabrine would be a red-headed step-child.
