  • Summary

  • The NBA kicked off its 79th season this past Tuesday, for those of you who are into basketball.

    In 79 years, the game has come a long, long way. It’s a truly international sport, the seventh most popular game in the world, according to World Atlas.

    The NBA itself is international in terms of team rosters with 125 players from 40 different countries outside the United States donning team jerseys this season.

    But we’ll bet that the league has only seen one foreign player who is related to the Russian literary giant, Leo Tolstoy.

    And that man is Tom Meschery, whose own journey to fame rivals that of his famous uncle and the subject of our encore episode this week on The Art 2 Aging.
