## Caption

A 7’9 North Korean center nearly made it to the NBA. After years of not being known to the rest of the world and playing  internationally, he caught scouts eye at a tournament where he played against the United States. Although some were enamored with giving him an NBA workout, his eligibility fell through due to the relationship between the US and North Korean government. Who knows what he could’ve been in the league. 🏀👀
