Charles "Basketball" Bassey was discovered in Lagos, Nigeria at 12 selling fried chicken on the roadside, wearing flip flops too small for his feet, playing soccer until a coach saw his size and pointed him toward basketball instead
drafted 53rd overall by the 76ers in 2021. Waived by Philadelphia a year later. Picked up by the Spurs, tore his ACL in December 2023, fought his way back. Waived by the Hawks in 2025 before a single regular-season game.
Instead of accepting offers from the EuroLeague for MORE money even though he came from NOTHING he stayed in the G League and on ten day contracts making a fraction of what he could've earned in the EuroLeague just to stay one phone call away from the NBA. Bounced across four different NBA teams in one season, never knowing if it would pay off but still playing training chasing his DREAM instead of money this passion doesnt exist in the modern NBA anymore Charles "Basketball" Basseys story is so inspirational because he NEVER GAVE UP ON HIS DREAM even though EVERYONE doubted him

Asked Steve Kerr if he’s comfortable with #Warriors’ centers as is without Kristaps Porzingis or if he feels GSW needs a move.
They like Graham Ike, Charles Bassey. But
“You can’t deny that Kristaps was plugged in our starting lineup … his absence is definitely a blow.”
