Episode Notes

In the second part of episode 11 with Alex Owumi, we talk about how Alex narrowly lost out on being drafted by the Boston Celtics and delve further into to his decision to leave Georgetown, a move which almost led him to playing with GB great - Pops Mensah Bonsu at GW.

Alex talks to us about how his experience of horrific racial discrimination with his team in Macedonia led him to signing with Al-Nasr a team owned by Colonel Gaddafi. He speaks candidly about extremely harrowing experiences in Libya, when the Libyan Civil War broke out - which if you’re sensitive to traumatic events, I’d advise you give this episode a miss.

Finally Alex concludes the episode by speaking further about his tenure in the BBL and his plans to turn his book, Qaddafi’s Point Guard into a film.  And much, much more!
