My Take

Ronny Turiaf's journey is the kind I find irresistible. A 208cm big man from Le Robert in Martinique, he crossed the ocean to Gonzaga, led his conference in scoring as a senior, and carved out a decade in the NBA. Building a career an ocean from home, in a different language and culture, demands a resilience most fans never see. What I love about Turiaf is the warmth and energy he was known for, the sense that his heart matched his frame. He always read to me as a connector, the guy who lifts a locker room. Pioneers who open doors abroad deserve a full ovation, and he gets mine.
