The „Something Basketball“ podcast is for all the international listeners out there who are interested in what‘s going on basketball-wise in Europe and/or Germany. The concept is to conduct a series of interviews with players, coaches, executives, etc. that are willing to share their thoughts on what it‘s like as a pro far away from home. Rookies, give me an idea of what you know about the german league, who you reached out to beforehand, what you might be afraid of prior to year one. Vets, spread your wisdom on the overseas culture, the level of the league and what helped you have a lasting career.
