Vinnie Johnson
Vincent “Vinnie” Johnson didn’t need any cash loans when he retired. He was a prevalent name in the National Basketball Association throughout the time he was playing, especially when he was the sixth man for the Detroit Pistons. Vinnie was a critical factor that helped propel the Pistons to a back-to-back NBA championship in 1989 and 1990, especially when he made a buzzer-beater against the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 5 in the latter year.
He was given the nickname “The Microwave” by a fellow player, Danny Ainge, for his ability to rack up points and “heat up” the team’s offense whenever he was on the court.When Vinnie retired from the league, he shifted his focus from basketball to cars and established the Piston Automotive, and eventually, the Piston Group of companies, paying homage to his previous team. The company found major success in supplying to major automotive companies like General Motors and the Ford Motor Company.
