Biography
Reggie Bullock's value in the NBA has never been about flashy box scores. The North Carolina product, a first-round pick in 2013, took years to find his footing, shuffling through five teams in his first six seasons. He eventually crystallized his identity as the prototypical '3-and-D' wing: a long, committed defender who stations himself in the corner and knocks down open threes with quiet efficiency. His journeyman start gave way to valued roles on playoff teams like the Pistons, Knicks, and Mavericks. Off the court, Bullock's impact is deeply personal; he is a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, honoring his transgender sister, and bringing a layer of heartfelt activism to his professional life.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Reggie was born in 1991, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
