After going undrafted out of St. John’s, Julian Champagnie showed what it meant to grind his way into the big strappy, kooples inking a two-way deal with the Sixers before being signed to a legit NBA contract with the Spurs in the summer of 2023. Champagnie is a big Kobe-head, and mixes in a variety of silhouettes, including the 5s and 4s, but most frequently wears the Kobe 8s.
