Rod Lemons
Rod Lemons is from Cleveland, Ohio, and has been a fan of basketball since he was a kid. He played basketball at Glenville High School and went on to play division 1 basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He was blessed with the opportunity to play overseas in the Basketball England League. He played one season with the Lincolnshire Wildcats. A few years later returned to the United States to play in the NBA Summer Pro League and teach middle school basketball. While overseas, he decided to teach students in class and brought basketball to the students across the UK. During this time, Rodney realized how basketball can have an impact on an entire country. Rodney is a hard worker and a brilliant mind. The way he has led the Bridge Elite Global Foundation has been motivating and inspirational to witness. His impact will continue to reach generations due to the impact that he has had on the younger generation, including myself. It has been a blessing to get to know Rod. I am excited to see what he does in the future.
