@diamant.blazi (Diamant Blazi) is 6’8” (and still rising).
The basketball star has grown up between worlds — being raised in France with Senegalese roots and now playing for the Overtime Elite in Atlanta. He’s known for what he can do on the court, but this week, he showed up somewhere else entirely — in Cannes on the red carpet for his first-time experience at the @festivaldecannes.
“Being 19 years old, I still have so much to learn, and I love to learn from successful people in various industries,” says Diamant. “I haven’t made it yet, but I know I’ll have made it when I’m in the NBA, with a great situation for my family, and I’m considered as the best player I can be as the best version of myself.”
But first, Cannes. Check out today’s #10Things for a look at Diamant’s legendary trip to the film festival.
