BOSTON — Walking through the classroom door, he ducked instinctively.
At 6 feet 11 inches tall, bending is a necessary habit, but it also immediately set him apart from the other students streaming out of the Harvard Business School lecture hall.
Festus Ezeli, a first-round National Basketball Association draft pick in 2012, hovered in the hallway for a few minutes with other professional basketball and football players. The dozen were at Harvard for a day last month to learn from the school’s famous case study method, and to be matched up with a pair of students who would be their business mentors for the semester.
Ezeli’s mentor, Alison Rapaport, could offer him insights from her summer internships and time as an asset manager.
“If you want to learn anything about finance, personal investing, that’s what I did for five years,” Rapaport told him.
“I would absolutely love to learn about investing,” the Nigerian native responded.
