What's In Your Bag? Ep. 54 - Matt Bonds


Listen Later

Matt Bonds just wrapped up a legendary three year run with the Nagasaki Velca that saw them go from a team in Japan's third division, to a team firmly in the mix in the top league in Japan in only two years. A feat that included an MVP season, and back to back promotions along the way!

Bonds unpacks what those three years in Nagasaki meant to his career, and how it has prepared him for his new beginning with the Osaka Evessa in Japan's B1. Matt also shares what he's most looking forward to about playing in Osaka, the second largest city in Japan, and unofficial food capital of the country!

We get into what has contributed to Matt's success as an undersized big, standing at roughly 6'5, Bonds has always played much bigger than he is, and the same tenacity that allowed him to grab over 1100 rebounds over his four year career in college, is the same tenacity that has allowed him to carve out an 8 year professional career that has spanned over three different countries overseas.

For all of our #DMVHoops fans, Matt takes us back to that legendary state championship run at North Point high school alongside Marquise Wright, that included a 27-0 season and upset victory in the state title game over American high school LEGEND Aquille "The Crimestopper" Carr!

This is an episode that will leave you feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to attach whatever obstacle comes your way! Make sure to like, comment and subscribe to our channel for more conversations just like this one!
