Travante Williams has perhaps the craziest journey to professional basketball that you'll ever hear in your life. From working at Jack In The Box to pay his way through school, to lacing up against Jabari Parker and Jahlil Okafor in the ACB, you've never heard of someone go from flipping burgers, to one of the top leagues in the entire world.
We sat down with Travante to discuss his crazy path making it out of Alaska, the state that's home to some NBA royalty such as Mario Chalmers, and Carlos Boozer, and how he aims to become to latest Alaska native to continue to put the land of the midnight sun on the map across the world!
We get down to the nitty gritty to find out what went into Travante's departure from Sporting after a four year run that saw him become the most decorated player in the clubs history, as well as what made Manresa the right club to begin to blaze a new path. You'll want to stick around for the answer!
We end off the conversation with a classic draft that saw Travante pick an All-Time Alaska Starting 5 that could go against Andrew's All-Time DMV starting five. You guys let us know who wins!
