How Ronnie 2K Went From Law School To The NBA

Ronnie's story is truly unique. He was raised to focus on his education and then have a successful career in a traditional field. He listened to his parents and graduated from Columbia Law School and then got a job at a prestigious law firm.

After a couple of weeks, he quit. He hated it.

He always had a passion for sports but to make a career out of it, you need to start at the bottom. And that's exactly what he did. 

He got an unpaid job working for a women's basketball team. His family thought he was crazy. But he loved it, and knew he was on the right path, so he stuck with it.

He got a job at a minor league baseball team and really learned how to market with no budget.

Around that time, he started getting into NBA 2K and became one its best players. He was an active participant in the community and he showed up on the NBA 2K team's radar. 

This was 15 years ago, when Twitter was just getting started, and Ronnie saw its potential. So, he asked an executive at 2K if he could create an account on Twitter: Ronnie 2K. That simple email changed everything.
