The Heart and Hustle of Portugal

Neemias Queta: “The draft day is special because it's all you dream of. You wake, the air is a little different. You just feel light“

Neemias Queta is an icon: the first Portuguese NBA player. The 25 year old basketballer, currently playing for the Boston Celtics, shares his journey from his roots playing soccer in the streets of Lisbon to being drafted for the NBA in 2021

The Celtics player embodies a humbleness and kindness that rivals his competitive approach on the court, having won the NBA championship in 2024, in his first season with the team.
