game leader CSKA Casper Items told how he knew the NBA’s brightest stars and recalled accompanying them to the venue.
Ware, 33, joined CSKA in March 2022, having played for Yenisey, as well as clubs in the Australian, Polish, French, Italian and German basketball leagues. Additionally, Ware has 9 games for the NBA Philadelphia 66ers in 2014.
– The opportunity to meet LeBron fell because I know very well Baron Davis, a former NBA player. My dad worked with Baron and coached him as a kid. At one point, as we were preparing for the Drew League, Davis told his dad that he had a surprise and that he would bring someone to play for us. We had already started warming up before the game, when suddenly LeBron James walked into the room. So we met for the first time. After, I went to his camp, it was in 2012. One day, LeBron called DeMar DeRozan before the Drew League: “Hey, can you play for me and Cas? We went to the site again together. He’s a nice guy, not at all arrogant. And a great player.
– LeBron kind of promoted you on social media, and this post got 3 million likes. What did the Great write?
“It happened after my college game, in my senior year. Our opponent was one of the best teams in Pittsburgh. I played well, we won. LeBron wrote on the social network, take a closer look, they say, dude. All around: “Oh! LeBron wrote about you! It was cool.
– You met Kobe Bryant on the pitch, right?
– We also crossed paths with Kobe in the Drew League, during the lockout. He was playing for opponents. An athlete of this caliber, who even performed in Los Angeles, was a living legend and role model for us. Just seeing him, playing against him, even defending against him a bit, was incredible. I will never forget him. But Kobe’s death came as a shock. Then I played in Australia, heard the news and said, ‘That’s not possible, that’s wrong.’ But when I realized it hit me hard,” Ware told .
In 65 official matches (62 in the starting lineup) played for the Army team over a season and a half, the American point guard averaged 26 minutes on the pitch and scored 13.3 points.
