Randle, 34, has played professionally around the world for more than decade since leading Cal to the 2010 Pac-10 championship, the Bears’ first conference title in 50 years. He was voted the Pac-10 Player of the Year.
What he’ll remember most about that day is the fear and uncertainty in the faces of his Ukrainian teammates as they received live updates from their families at home. A moment of silence was held before and after the game, and the home fans gave the Ukrainian team a standing ovation afterward, according to Rueters.
