Raised in the Gulf Coast region of southern Mississippi, Dr. Sumon Bhowmick has been a basketball fanatic for most of his life. And when the time came to relocate after medical school almost 10 years ago, Bhowmick and his then-girlfriend, now-wife Amber, came across the total package in Charlotte, NC.
“Growing up in the 90’s, it was all Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls,” Bhowmick said. “That’s what everybody was in to. My workout room is just top to bottom Jordan’s. I grew up idolizing that team and his greatness. Leaving Mississippi and looking for a place that still had that Southern culture, but also more diverse and larger, Charlotte was just an option that when it came, I just jumped at it.
