Has been around the globe playing in Europe, NBA, GLeague, NBL & Australia National Team. He's a 3 time Olympian and a NBA World Champion with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014.  Aron went through his fair share of challenges in his life and today we talked about all of them. We talked about his freak injury in Tokyo and the gruesome period he experienced throughout his recovery period, going into a deep depression. We touched on topics like 'negative self talk' and the effect it had on his children, rekindling the love for the game by going a step down to Greece, memories from the cold weather periods in Vilnius, Detroit & Boston and went down memory lane from his time with Brad Stevens.
