Zaza Pachulia

by Nino from Tbilisi


Zaza was born in Tbilisi, Georgia. At the age of 13 he was 2.04 metres. He has two sons, Davit and Saba and wife named Tina. His passion for basketball has never decreased. He started playing for Ulker when he was just fifteen years old. Later, he left Georgia and went to Turkey in pursuit of a better basketball career. In his entire life, basketball has remained his only priority. His passion for basketball has never declined and he has always wanted to have better facilities for playing basketball in his home country. Zaza has also been a member of Georgian national team. Zaza is a lively person with creative hobbies; he likes to travel and has interests in fashion.

In my opinion Zaza Pachulia is one of the best basketballers in the world. Each of his victories is connected with Georgia and Georgian people are proud of him and support him. I hope that his success will last a long time and his fans will always be happy about his winning. He's my hero because he is a fellow countryman who has made it on an international level and in one of the most athletic leagues in the world.
