From hilarious travel stories to hard-hitting geopolitics, NBA players have dealt with it all on the road overseas.
Evan Turner’s first big trip internationally came after his rookie season with the 76ers. It wasn’t a huge trip in miles, but it was a massive first step. Turner treated his entire family, everyone, on a trip to the Dominican Republic — and one moment that’s lodged in his mind was hearing his 98-year-old great grandmother see a freshwater canal, saying it was the most beautiful thing she’d seen in her life. A life that had spanned 98 years.

Through four turbulent seasons, Edwards has been the Huskies’ one constant.
In the tunnels under Rocket Mortgage Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, Geno Auriemma casually walked up to Paige Bueckers and told her she’d been named a WBCA All-American. The ever-humble superstar received the news stoned faced.

“So did you,” he said.
Bueckers face immediately lit up and she sprung out of her seat to wrap Edwards in a hug before the rest of the team quickly joined in on the celebration.

JJ Redick and LeBron James recently teamed up for a new podcast called ‘Mind The Game’ where the two open up a bottle of wine and simply talk ball. The trio of LeBron being the face of the NBA for over two decades, Redick being a veteran in the podcast and broadcasting space, and booze has made for a pretty interesting project thus far.
We’ve also already seen Redick do something to James that no reporter has done in decades: call him out.

Bronny James is entering the NBA Draft, and no, this is not a joke.
LeBron James‘ oldest son had a brutal entrance to college basketball this season with the USC Trojans, and the issues started before ever playing a game.
Bronny suffered a cardiac incident during practice that held him back from getting the start he wanted, and things did not go well once he did get back on the court. The 6’4″ guard averaged just 4.8 points per game, 2.8 rebounds per game, 2.1 assists per game and shot an *ABYSMAL* 36.6% from the field and 26.7% from three in 25 games.
