Dan Mavraides is a top-ranked FIBA 3x3 professional basketball player and a
2020 Olympic hopeful. Prior to playing 3x3 professionally, he played in the
top 5x5 leagues in Greece and Italy. He graduated from Princeton University
in 2011 where he was the two-time team MVP and let the Tigers to an Ivy
League Championship and NCAA tournament birth.
But for all of Dan’s success, which is tremendous, the most impressive part
of his story is that he is a self-professed “late bloomer” and what gifts
that gave him. It has taught him to be curious, become resilient and be
grateful for every opportunity. He says he has probably more than
compassion for others because his path wasn’t a straight line and the
insight that he’s gained has helped him, now at the age of 30 continue to
pursue his hoops dreams, one more time.
Dan’s personality is infectious. He’s also a motivational speaker, so
anyone looking for inspiration for high school or college kids, he is
outstanding at sharing his story and how never giving up is the key to
success.
