Chet Holmgren | Before They Were Famous | New Cockiest Player Enters NBA

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

If you were cruising social media on Tuesday night, then odds are you’ve seen a bunch of comments gushing over the NBA Summer League debut of Chet Holmgren. This 20-year-old has yet to play a single game in the professional league but he absolutely lit up the floor by scoring 23-points, grabbing seven rebounds, dishing out four assists, and blocking six shots. That last one? It’s a record. And it was also good enough to capture the attention of perhaps the most significant player in the league (and soon-to-be Toronto Raptor, come on baby, don’t let me down), Kevin Durant. Of course, when something like this happens people are bound to overreact, and when it’s a young kid who looks like Chet does -- thin-as-a-rail, tall-as-all-hell, and white-as-a-sheet – then people tend to lose their minds. How could a kid who looked like a stiff wind knock him over and become perhaps the cockiest player in the league? You’re about to find out about our newest Before They Were Famous episode.
