It wasn’t that Tosan Evbuomwan thought this — an NBA career — was impossible.
He didn’t think of it at all.
And why would he? Growing up in northern England, he was like every other good British lad, playing soccer. Beg your pardon; football.
Evbuomwan — born to immigrants from Nigeria — didn’t discover basketball until he was 14. Even coming to play in the U.S. collegiately was a longshot, 1-in-100 odds — literally. He never even considered the NBA as a wild pipe dream until after his solid freshman season at Princeton.
