Jordan Farmar

Jordan Farmar interests me as a quintessentially Los Angeles success story with an international twist. A hometown product who starred at UCLA, won Los Angeles Times High School Player of the Year, and broke into the NBA, he later embraced his American-Israeli heritage by playing in Israel as well. That dual identity, carried with evident pride, makes his career more textured than a typical box score. As a Lakers championship contributor, he absorbed a winner's mentality early. He wasn't the franchise's biggest name, but I admire a point guard who blends local roots with global ambition and keeps proving himself wherever the game leads him.
