Bobby Syvanthong started playing basketball at the age of four in the blue-collar town of Richmond California. He would be crowned MVP at El Cerrito High School before heading to the east coast to play for the University of Maine at Fort Kent where he revolutionized their game. His talents would capture the eyes of scouts in Thailand and Bobby’s greatest honor would come when in 2018 he stepped on the court and represented a team from his ancestral homeland of Laos in the Thai Basketball Supper league.
