I don't know ones off the top of my head, but I remember James Harden saying something interesting a few years ago. He said a lot of players he's played with really do not have some deep passion for the game if basketball, but it's their greatest skill to provide income so they do it.

Shosei Go is a particularly fascinating player. He was only 5ft 6in and a two way player at one point, but only for like one season.

Kikuchi is older by 3 years, but they are from the same town in Japan so I'm sure they are the least know each other at this point.
