Tatum out here winning chips against farmers smh.

Ulrich Chomche’s path to the NBA is as unique as it gets
JJ Reddick gonna criticize the league saying LeBron played against farmers
This is like a dream from a boy in the farm to play in any top league sports.
I can’t possibly root any harder for this kid. Get it son!
I like the way he says “I have a lot of parents” referring to the people in the Raptors organization. You can tell he’s grateful for the opportunity and guidance he’s receiving. Hope he balls out!

All my respect, all my support for this young man
Chris Paul is a state farmer
I hope the basketball gods are good to this kid. That was refreshing to hear.
The greatest respect to you, young man, farming is tough work. 👍
Shoutout to all the former and current players, coaches, management that have invested in NBA Africa and baseball without borders
started from the farmyard now we’re here
English is the official language of Cameroon. He lying. The NBA loves narratives. It’s starting to become the WWE
Interviewer: “wait, you actually worked on a farm?” Ulrich: “Ya, I am.” He still intrinsically sees himself as a farmer, that’s incredible.
Masai Ujuri surely has to go to the HoF as a contributor soon
