Former UCLA standout center Adem Bona talks about the Bruin connection as he reconnects with this former Bruin alumni.
The UCLA Bruins saw another player reach his NBA dreams on June 27, with standout center Adem Bona being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers as the 41st overall pick. While the Bruins lost a valuable player, the 76ers gained a promising talent who could play a crucial role if given the opportunity.
Transitioning across the country might pose challenges for Bona, but he has the support of a fellow Bruin, Rico Hines, who is also part of the 76ers organization. Bona emphasized the special bond that comes with being a Bruin, no matter where his career takes him. "I feel like the Bruins connection is always there. I walked on the court, and we were chanting the 8-clap."“𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐬’ 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.
Having a reliable Bruin by his side, Bona is well-positioned to navigate the challenges of his first year in the NBA. It's heartening to see the Bruin family stick together, reinforcing the strength of their shared heritage as Bona embarks on his professional journey.
