A professional basketball player from Sweden named Jonas Jerebko was born on March 2, 1987. He became just the second basketball player from Sweden to be selected by an NBA team when the Detroit Pistons selected him with the 39th overall choice in the second round of the 2009 NBA Draft, following Miles Simon.
Jerebko played for four different clubs during his ten seasons in the NBA, including the Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics, and Detroit Pistons. He also spent two seasons playing for the Russian team Khimki.
Jerebko developed a love for basketball early on and participated in a variety of sports while growing up in Sweden.
It was not surprising that Jerebko excelled in basketball given that both of his parents were basketball players, especially given that his friends’ preferred sport was not basketball.
In order to pursue better basketball chances, he relocated to Massachusetts during his final year of high school. He made an impression on the floor and earned multiple offers.
In 2005, Jerebko committed to playing basketball at the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, the hometown of his father, but eventually renounced his scholarship to focus on a professional career.
Before traveling to Italy to play for Angelico Biella for two seasons, he began his career playing for the Swedish clubs Bors Basket and Plannja Basket.
