A former Chicago Bulls champion has looked unrecognizable in his post-NBA career after retiring nearly 28 years ago.

The 58-year-old Ricky Blanton has his own insurance agency based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

A 6-foot-7, 215-pound small forward, Blanton began his basketball career at LSU from 1985-1989.

During his college tenure, Blanton was part of a 1986 Final Four team that beat the No. 1, 2, and 3 seeds.

And he was a first-team All-SEC for two seasons.

Blanton would be drafted by the Phoenix Suns in the second round of the 1989 NBA Draft.

But in 1992, he’d find the fortune to sign with the Michael Jordan led-Bulls, who went on to win the championship.

For the season, Blanton played in two regular-season games and averaged three points.

Those would be his only professional games as he retired in 1995.

Ricky would go on to coach as an assistant at LSU and Utah State.

After two seasons as a head coach at Nicholls State University, Blanton transitioned to the insurance world in 2004.

He owns Ricky Blanton Insurance Agency.

The former NBA champion is now unrecognizable and sports gray hair.

According to the company’s website, Blanton is “committed to providing the most up-to-date information to his clients and prospects in regards to employee benefits and the insurance industry.”

And one of Blanton’s core duties is “to educate his clients on what their insurance policy covers.”
