Vin Baker was one sky-scraping barista. The Milwaukee Bucks obtained the 6-foot-11, 230-pound Baker out of the University of Hartford with the eighth choice in 1993. Baker cooked on the court from the get-go and he achieved a spot on the 1994 All-Rookie first team. The four-time All-Star competed for six organizations before permanently shelving his high-top sneakers following the 2006 season. Baker, who battled substance abuse and reportedly lost more than $100 million, was hired to manage a North Kingstown, Rhode Island-based Starbucks in December 2015. Although he openly raves about his stint at the coffeehouse chain, Baker accepted an offer to become the Bucks’ analyst for Fox Sports Wisconsin in September 2016.
