This August marks two years since Louis Lesmond moved from France to the United States.
It was a decision made based on his father’s work, but still with an eye toward Louis’ aspirations.
David Lesmond played college basketball at Purdue in the mid-1990s before playing professional hoops in his native France. But when the opportunity came in summer 2018 to relocate back to the United States based on his’s work as a wine seller for French wineries, it meant a wholesale change for the Lesmond family.
David and Louis’ mother Vanessa (a former professional basketball player herself), along with Louis and his sister Lola all had to adapt after moving to Evanston, Illinois.
