After finishing their careers as professional athletes, many basketball players find themselves in numerous auxiliary roles around the game. Likewise, former Israeli hooper Mickey Moshashvili found his calling as a private trainer after his stint with basketball. Incidentally, after years of making connections, Moshashvili landed a job training LeBron James and Scottie Pippen’s sons at a top high school on the West Coast.

Earlier this year, Mickey Moshashvili found himself at the Sierra Canyon High School facility in California. Moshashvili was interviewing for an opportunity at the prestigious institution. However, in a surprising turn of events, Bronny James, son of LeBron James, played a crucial role in the selection process. Here’s how.

After sensing his nervousness, the mature 18-year-old approached Moshashvili and tried to motivate him. In an interview, Moshashvili revealed how the comforting words of Bronny fueled his motivation.

He admitted, “I was a bit stressed out and Bronny (Lebron’s eldest) immediately picked this up. So he approached me and said, ‘You have it in you, bro.’ From that moment onwards, I had the best three minutes of my life.” Bronny’s uplifting words landed Moshashvili the job as a scouter, player development coach, and video editor under a 2.5-year contract.
