The Lansdowne Sculptures at The San Antonio Museum of Arts Marcus Aurelius was an aristocrat born in Rome in 121 CE. He ruled as Emperor from 161 to 180, most of those years along side a co-emperor, and was an accomplished warrior as well as a Stoic philosopher, which teaches that to be wise and intelligent one must not allow negative emotions to run rampant no matter what the circumstances may be.

Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O’neal, Hakeem Olajuwon: What these six former NBA players share aside from their intimidating stature and hall of fame status is that, unbeknownst to them (and a vast majority of NBA fans and analysts as well for that matter), they would be the last of their kind in the NBA for the foreseeable future.
