The Better Halves Of The NBA's Biggest Stars

Landry Fields and Elaine Alden Fields

Former NBA shooting guard Landry Fields has experienced a remarkable rise in coaching after injuries cut his playing career short. Transitioning seamlessly into the front office, Fields spent three seasons as a college scout before stepping into his current role as assistant general manager for the Atlanta Hawks. His leadership and basketball IQ have made him a key figure in the Hawks’ organization

During his time playing for the New York Knicks, Landry met his wife, Elaine Alden Fields, a model who was working in the Big Apple at the time. Their love story began at a concert when they locked eyes through the crowd—cheesy? Sure, but who doesn’t love a good meet-cute? Today, the couple shares three children and continues to build their lives together. Fields’ journey from the court to the front office proves that sometimes, life’s unexpected turns lead to even greater opportunities. Isn’t it inspiring how he’s carved out a new path in the basketball world?
