Something has to go right for either the Golden State Warriors or the Minnesota Timberwolves. On Saturday, one of those teams will find a bright spot in a dreary stretch.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
