In this episode, we welcome High School, NCAA, and NBA champion Sasha Kaun. Sasha came from Russia at the age of 16 to Florida Air Academy. He didn’t speak any English. Within three years he learned to speak the language, won a state title, and got a scholarship to Kansas. After winning an NCAA title he was the last draft pick in the history of the Seattle Supersonics. He chose instead to play in Europe before coming back to the NBA in 2015 to play for the Cavs. That was the year the Cavs won the title. In this episode we talk about coming to the US, playing at a high major school, the difference between Euroleague and the NBA, LeBron behind the scenes, and more. .
