From struggle to stardom: Jordan Theodore’s European journey

Jordan Theodore is five years removed from his days of playing college basketball for Seton Hall. The 6-foot point guard has made the jump that many talented college players attempt in playing overseas. Unlike the majority, Theodore stuck the landing, as he has become one of the most renowned and recognized basketball players in all of Europe. This rise to the top, however, was not achieved without its fair share of scrapes and setbacks along the way.

When Theodore arrived in Turkey – his first destination in Europe – nothing was compatible, from not being able to speak the language, to not being able to plug his cell phone to charge because of the different outlets and plugs.
