Eugene Tulyagijja hopped in his car to head from Syracuse to New York City around 5 a.m. on Wednesday. Roughly five hours later, he arrived and began the first day of his new job.
The next thing he knew, he was in Madison Square Garden, getting ready for the New York Knicks’ season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Unlike most 22-year-olds, Tulyagijja wasn’t there to enjoy the game from the stands. Instead, he was in the Knicks’ locker room, preparing information for the coaching staff to have once the final buzzer sounded.
