Sitting in front of his locker at the Sprint Center on Friday, former Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen couldn’t help but feel old.
He’ll be 28 in a few weeks, so he probably only said it as a half-joke.
But in the six years since he left K-State, he’s played in Italy, Israel, Spain, Croatia and most recently in Russia. He’s traveled internationally more times than he can count, all in search of a career in the NBA that’s eluded him since he went undrafted in 2011.
Now he’s got it. Finally.
“Getting an opportunity to put on an NBA jersey is just a dream,” he said.
