Jose Nouchanthavong: Lao-American Professional Basketball Player
Manage episode 395122422 series 3423752
From a small town in Maine to the lights of Bangkok, it’s the love of the game that has taken Jose Nouchathavong on a journey around the world. Jose began playing basketball as a child and would work his way onto the roster of a local community college before going on to play for University of Southern Maine. At a crossroads, contemplating a transition into the workforce, fate intervened with a unique opportunity – a chance to travel to Laos and proudly represent his heritage as a member of Team Luang Prabang in the Thai Basketball Super League. Basketball has taken Jose to places like Indonesia, Malaysia and even Armenia but in his heart, there is still unfinished business. His goal is to represent Laos at the SEA Games alongside fellow Lao-American, Bobby Syvanthong.
