"AntGoods":

Anthony is a former professional basketball player who played in a lot of different places around the world. He played four years at Stanford before transitioning to the DLeague at the time, making his way to Italy later on before coming back to the DLeague again. Later, he finally decided to take his talents to Europe as well as South America and played in countries such as Ukraine, France, Israel, Venezuela, Dominican Republic as well as Kosovo where he ended up finishing his career in 2020.

Today, Ant shared his experience of playing in Venezuela and how he almost got kidnapped upon arrival, his path throughout Europe and how open he was to new cultures and new experiences before deciding to retire. We also talked about our life as scouts on the road and the life in hotels and the challenge of finding a routine. Anthony also talked about the beginnings of "Swishcultures" and how he goes about living out his creative side of things, while also being productive in everything he does.

A multi-faceted personality with a variety of experiences and lots of fascinating stories to tell.
