I saw Idan's story on an episode of Real NBA, I knew he was a lawyer turned sought-after trainer to NBA stars without any paid basketball experience. After a quick search I found a Wall Street Journal article on Ravin and his story is even more amusing. As a stress reliever he started coaching a boys YMCA basketball team. Soon he began working out a few college players that he knew using the drills he created for his 12 year old players. His break came when college star Steve Francis came to one of his workouts. Now for the interesting part, Ravin is definitely not in this for the money because he's sometimes paid for his services with food or sneakers. To supplement his income he operates a group of ethnic dating sites from his laptop including Ethiopian Personals and Eligible Greeks, seriously. Read the full article (here).
