... that American-born Freddie Lish won a gold medal with the Thai national team and called playing for the country "my dream ever since I found out my mom was born in Thailand"?
Source: "Born Aug. 18, 1988 in Honolulu, Hawai’i" University of South Alabama, "Gilas won despite trailing 21-11 late in the first quarter against a Thai squad powered by former NBA G-League player Antonio Price and ASEAN Basketball League veterans Moses Morgan and Freddie Lish.The three, along with big man Chanathip Jakwaran composed the Thai team that won the men’s 3x3 gold over the weekend."Manila Bulletin "ดังนั้นการลงเล่นในนามทีมชาติไทยของ ลิช จึงไม่ใช่แค่เพื่อชาติ แต่เป็นการแสดงให้ลูก ๆ ของเขาเห็นว่า พ่อของพวกเขาเจ๋งขนาดไหนอีกด้วย ... 'นี่เป็นความฝันของผมมาตั้งแต่ที่ผมรู้ว่า แม่ของผมเกิดในประเทศไทย' ("So, playing for the Thai national team for Lish is not just for the country, but also to show his children how great their father is ... 'This has been my dream ever since I found out my mom was born in Thailand'.)Sporting News
Overall: Looks good. Hook is interesting and is fine as a special occasion hook. It'd be nice if the professional career section could be expanded some (we have two decent paragraphs on his college career, and then a mere three sentences on his 12-year pro career?), but that's probably not necessary for approval.
