Cory Joseph, originally drafted 29th overall by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2011 NBA draft, has etched his name in basketball history. After a four-season tenure with the Spurs (2011-2015), Joseph played for various NBA teams including the Raptors, Pacers, Kings, Pistons, Warriors, and Magic before making his way to Europe.
His move to Europe saw a near-signing with Monaco, but financial complications led him to Olympiacos in Piraeus. This decision proved to be a wise one, as Joseph contributed significantly in the EuroLeague final, playing 16 minutes and recording 5 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds against Real Madrid.
