Ep 32 | MICHAEL SWEETNEY (City of Gods) - a podcast by The Basketball Tournament

A DMV native, Michael Sweetney was living the life of his dreams. He starred on the court for his dream college, Georgetown, and parlayed his collegiate success into the NBA Lottery, where the New York Knicks made the 6’9” PF/C the 9th pick of the 2003 NBA Draft. But, the death of his father sent Sweetney into what he now recognizes was a deep depression. Years of struggles, including a period in which he slept in his car, have given way to a new understanding of himself and a new approach to life. A father of three, Sweetney credits his coach, Joe Connelly, with saving his life, and a fateful trip to Uruguay with helping him come to terms with the loss of his father. An easy guy to root for, Sweetney is looking forward to suiting up again with City of Gods this summer and making another run at TBT glory.
