[post_content] => The Andrew Nembhard File

- WCC Conference (NCAA) Assists Leader (184), 2021-22
Kid's Game
Many people would know Andrew Nembhard from his college basketball days at Gonzaga and Florida, but for the Canadian native turned Indiana Pacer, basketball started at home. With a Fisher Price basketball hoop in the basement purchased by his father, Claude, Andrew and his brother, Ryan, learned how to hoop. Despite their love of the game, father Nembhard never forced his sons to play the game, only allowing them to do it out of love.
Andrew's love of the game was tested in March of 2017, when he was forced to relearn how to walk due to a twisting and knotting of his intestines, which led to a bowel obstruction. After surgeries and six weeks in the hospital, Nembhard began his journey back to the court, which ultimately landed him in the NBA after a great college career. However, as Nembhard is known for saying, it's not blind faith, but "delusional confidence."
That delusional confidence made him the 31st overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and a starter in the league during his rookie year on a potential playoff team.
