Some of you college basketball guys might remember him. He played at Arizona and then played in the NBA a few years but now he’s in the Olympics playing beach volleyball.

He was an incredible volleyball player in high school and had to decide what to focus on in college.
It's been a slow rise on the sand for him, but it's really cool that he has been able to make it all the way to the Olympics.

They dominated the French team who had not lost to American team ever.

With the first name, I was hoping for a different pronoun.

Yeah. I believe they said he was the National POTY in HS volleyball his senior year. Obviously chose the sport with more lucrative possibilities. Worked out pretty well. Made NBA money for 7 or so years and now is an Olympian.
