50. Pro Mindset, Pro Results: How E.J. Anosike Built His Own Path

On this episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi Emegano links up with fellow Nigerian hooper and pro player E.J. Anosike to talk about what it really takes to go from underdog to overseas pro. From being the youngest of eight in a basketball family to carving his own path through college and landing on a pro roster, E.J. shares the mentality that kept him focused—even when the game didn’t go his way. 

They get into the truth about transferring, sitting the bench, the mental side of confidence, and how training with LaVar Ball changed everything. If you’re a hooper chasing minutes, trying to stay locked in, or just want to level up mentally—this episode’s a blueprint for building yourself from the ground up.

📍 Topics covered:
Turning bench time into fuel
Maximizing minutes (even if you only get five)
Mental toughness = skill
Lessons from LaVar Ball and the Ball family
The mindset shift from college to pro
