NEW YORK — NBA player Thabo Sefolosha, who was arrested outside a New York City nightclub in April following a confrontation with police officer, has a character "of the highest order," his head coach, Mike Budenholzer, testified Thursday.
Taking the stand as the final defense witness in Sefolosha's trial, Budenholzer described the Atlanta Hawks guard-forward as "highly intelligent" and a "hard worker."
When asked by defense attorney Alex Spiro to describe his character, he said it was, "of the highest order."
"Thabo is of the highest character," he said during brief testimony in Manhattan Criminal Court.
