Today we salute the NBA longshots. These are the guys who have defied the odds to earn spots on NBA rosters. They probably weren’t heavily recruited coming out of high school, and many of them certainly weren’t pursued by the traditional college basketball powerhouses. But somehow, they excelled at their institution of choice, caught the eyes of NBA scouts, and proved their worth at the combines, summer leagues and training camps.
And now many of them are household names with inspirational stories to tell.
