To launch Sideline Stories—our new series which features athletes, artists, and professionals within the sports and entertainment industry—we interviewed Geoff Gray from Newton, Massachusetts.

Gray played Division III basketball at Emerson College, where he averaged 20.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists his senior year, leading the Lions to their first-ever NEWMAC Championship and NCAA appearance. After college, Gray became a dual citizen in Israel and is entering his second year playing professionally.
