8. Jordan Poole–It Was as Simple as That

“Nothing’s impossible. Everything’s possible in life.” In his 14-year NBA career, Leandro Barbosa, known as the Brazilian Blur, has gone from playing for the Celtics to the Golden State Warriors where he continues with the team as a coach.

From Chicago to the Hall of Fame, Tim Hardaway Jr.’s parents instilled confidence and a never-quit attitude that would drive the “Crossover King” to achieve one of the legendary careers in Warriors' history.

They met on a basketball court as rivals on the AAU circuit, each admiring the other’s talent and drive. That mutual respect and shared passion has propelled these two players, now friends and teammates, to the game’s highest level.

From high school friends to college teammates to NBA pros, Golden State Warriors’ James Wiseman and Lester Quinones have empowered and uplifted each other every step of the way—on and off the court.
