“I’m trying to maintain a certain level of composure, but I’m thrilled. This is a pretty special opportunity and one that I’ve always wanted the chance to experience,” said Sir.

The 6-foot-5 swingman, who starred at Ross Sheppard High School and is the NCAA’s all-time leader in three-point shooting accuracy, played professional basketball all around the world for the past nine years.

Now, at the age of 33, he’s getting his biggest hardwood opportunity.

“In the back of my mind, I always really hoped I’d get a chance at it. I always figured that chance would’ve come just after college or after a couple of years pro, but it didn’t and I just had to continue to put that work in,” said Sir.

Tireless work. He spent time playing pro in Romania (twice), Mexico, Switzerland, Germany. He even spent three seasons at home playing for the Edmonton Energy.
