Sim Bhullar Biography

It was as Gursimran “Sim” Bhullar that the basketball star was born on December 2, 1992, in Toronto Canada which is also where he was brought up.

Bhullar was raised alongside two siblings, an older sister Avneet who not so much is known about and a younger brother who was said to be playing college basketball. The brother, Tanveer has a height of 7 feet 2 inches.

Sim was birthed to parents who migrated to the Great White North from the state of Punjab in India. Even though his parents have been blessed with good heights, they have never been exposed to basketball. Instead, his father Avtar once played a traditional Indian sport known as kabaddi.

The first time he got exposed to the basketball was when he was between 10 and 11. Soon afterward, he fell in love with the sport.

Having shown great potential at the time, he was given an opportunity by a professional coach with the Ontario Basketball Association.

For his education, he went to Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School in Etobicoke, Toronto before later attending The Kiski School after moving to Saltsburg, Pennsylvania. When he was there,  he made a name for himself both for his skills and with his size. From Kiski, he moved again to Huntington Prep School in West Virginia.

He was initially supposed to attend Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio but after realizing he would have to pay tuition fee for a year since he was not immediately eligible to play, he changed his mind and instead, moved to the New Mexico State Aggies where he became an exceptional player.

He entered for the NBA Draft in 2014 but after he went undrafted, he signed to play in the 2014 NBA Summer League for the Sacramento Kings making him the first player of Indian descent to join the team.

He would go on to sign a 10-day contract with the team to play in the NBA making him the first to do so from India.

From 2015 to 2016, he played in the NBA Development League for Raptors 905 before moving to the Taiwanese Super Basketball League where he played for a year with Dacin Tigers.

From there he proceeded to sign for the second-tier league of China for Guangxi Rhino. However, he currently plays for the Fubon Braves.
