Michael Redd is a former NBA All-Star shooting guard known for his journey from a second-round draft pick to one of the league's prolific scorers.

He was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and ranks sixth all-time in Ohio State history with 1,879 career points.
Redd was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Draft and quickly became recognized as a top offensive player.

He founded The Wave Venture Innovation Group and 22 Ventures, supporting entrepreneurs and business leaders.
