To one day, set foot on the NBA floor, is a dream shared by millions of kids across the globe. But what they all do not know is that only a select few make it to the top. In simple terms, the road to the NBA is a long and arduous one with so many peaks and valleys along the way. The Basketball Gods, year after year, it seems, handpick only those who are willing to go through the grind of becoming a professional athlete on the hardwood and send them to the most watched basketball league in the universe. And 2020 was no different.

This particular draft class had a young man who called Charleston, South Carolina home. His dream of playing in the NBA became a reality when the Boston Celtics selected him as the 14th overall pick in the 2020 draft. The player in question is none other than Aaron Nesmith, the current Indiana Pacers SF. Back in 2020, when NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver announced his inclusion into the NBA family, Nesmith was in tears, overwhelmed with joy surrounded by his close-knit family. Family has always been the cornerstone for this humble star from the Palmetto State.

What is Aaron Nesmith’s Ethnicity?

His exploits on the basketball court from an early age had earmarked him for greatness.
