It’s crazy how things work out sometimes.

Back in 2009, Kelly Olynyk traveled to Mexico City to take part in a Basketball Without Borders clinic as a camper.

Now, he’s on the other side as a coach.

“It’s almost a nostalgic feeling walking in there and seeing these kids kind of sitting in the middle of the floor and knowing that nine years ago that was me sitting right there,” Olynyk said.

“And it’s fun to share that experience with them and help them realize what it means to compete at the highest level and kind of give them a little bit of an opportunity and give them some helpful insight to the game and just try to help them along their way.
