Passport to the Pros

From the streets of Damascus to the doorstep of the NBA 🏀 — Hozaifa Almaleh’s journey is one you won’t forget.

In our debut episode of Passport to the Pros, Hozaifa not only shares his inspiring basketball story, but also opens up about why we started this podcast and what we hope you take away from it — stories that prove dreams have no borders.

“When I first stepped on the court in America, I wasn’t just representing myself — I was representing every kid who thought their dream was impossible.”

From the grind to the culture shocks, and the moments that shaped his career, this is the conversation that sets the tone for everything to come.
