Basketball Career & Achievements
Adam Kemp Basketball Career & Achievements
I’m Adam Kemp, a 6’10” American professional basketball player from Sherrill, New York. My basketball career has taken me from Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School and a post-graduate year at The Winchendon School to NCAA Division I basketball at Marist College, NBA Summer League with the Detroit Pistons, and more than a decade of professional basketball across Europe and Eurasia.
Since beginning my professional career in 2014, I have played in North Macedonia, Kazakhstan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, and Hungary, while also spending part of the 2022 preseason with EuroLeague club Olimpia Milano in Italy. I have competed in domestic first divisions, the VTB United League, Basketball Champions League, and FIBA Europe Cup, and I have won medals in Poland at both the first- and second-division levels.
This page is a detailed record of my basketball career, including where I played each season, what the leagues and competitions represented, major statistical seasons and accomplishments, and some of the experiences that shaped how I approach basketball, athletic performance, recovery, and longevity today.

High School: Vernon-Verona-Sherrill
I grew up in Sherrill, New York, and played four years of basketball at Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School. I was named a league All-Star as both a junior and senior and averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds per game during my senior season (Marist Athletics, 2013).
My path was not that of a highly recruited national prospect. Coming from a small school in Upstate New York, I did not have a direct path to high-major exposure, which made the decision to attend prep school especially important for the next stage of my career.
2009–10: The Winchendon School and NEPSAC Basketball
After high school, I spent a post-graduate year at The Winchendon School in Massachusetts. Winchendon competed in the New England prep-school system, an environment that has long served as an important recruiting ground for NCAA programs because it brings together talented high school and post-graduate players from across the United States and internationally.
Marist described Winchendon at the time as one of the top prep programs in the country. That extra year gave me a chance to mature physically, face stronger competition, and earn the Division I opportunity that had not materialized directly out of high school (Marist Athletics, 2010).
2010–14: Marist College — NCAA Division I and the MAAC
I committed to Marist College in 2010 and played four seasons for the Red Foxes in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. NCAA Division I is the highest level of college basketball governed by the NCAA, and the MAAC has produced NBA players, professional players, and NCAA Tournament teams for decades.
I became a regular starter almost immediately and ultimately started 104 of my 109 college games. Across four seasons, I averaged approximately 8.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game while developing from a defensive and rebounding specialist into a more complete interior player (Sports Reference, n.d.).
2010–11: Freshman Season
As a freshman, I appeared in 18 games and started 13. I averaged 5.3 points and a team-leading 6.3 rebounds per game while also leading Marist with 29 blocked shots (Marist Athletics, 2013).
I recorded five blocks in my first college game against Boston University and produced double-doubles against Siena and Loyola. That season gave me an early indication that rebounding and rim protection could become defining parts of my game.
2011–12: Sophomore Season
I started all 32 games as a sophomore and increased my production to 8.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. On February 15, 2012, I blocked eight shots against Loyola Maryland, which remains one of the best single-game shot-blocking performances in Marist history (Marist Athletics, 2013).
That year was an important step in becoming a more consistent Division I starter and establishing myself as one of the better rebounders and shot blockers in the MAAC.
2012–13: Third Team All-MAAC
My junior season was my strongest individual college year. I averaged 10.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game, shot 55.5% from the field, and earned Third Team All-MAAC honors (Marist Athletics, 2013).
One of the most memorable games of my college career came at Iona on February 7, 2013, when I scored a career-high 29 points while also producing a dominant rebounding and shot-blocking performance. That season helped establish that I could contribute offensively while still providing the rebounding and interior defense that had defined my first two years.
2013–14: Senior Season
As a senior, I averaged 10.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks while starting all 28 games I played. I finished my Marist career with 825 rebounds and 225 blocked shots, placing me among the program’s most productive rebounders and shot blockers (Marist Athletics, 2014; Sports Reference, n.d.).
I graduated from Marist in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Communication and a minor in Psychology. My college career provided the foundation for everything that came next, but I entered the professional level as an undrafted player who still had to prove that my game could translate internationally.
2014: BJ Bass, RBA Sports, and the RBA Showcase
My professional representation has included NBA agent BJ Bass and RBA Sports. The RBA Showcase became an important part of the agency’s model by bringing professional prospects and established players together in New York City to perform in front of scouts, executives, and media.
I participated in the 2014 RBA Sports Showcase shortly after finishing at Marist. Reporting from the event listed me among the draft-eligible prospects and noted that scouts from nine NBA organizations attended, including the Knicks, Nets, Lakers, Thunder, Spurs, Wizards, Suns, and 76ers (Long Island Press, 2014).
I returned to the RBA Showcase later in my professional career as well. A 2018 feature on BJ Bass and RBA Sports documented me participating in sports-science testing at the event and described RBA’s broader strategy of helping overlooked players build careers through NBA, G League, and international opportunities (Def Pen, 2018).
For a player who was not drafted and did not come from a traditional basketball powerhouse, having representation that understood alternative professional pathways was important. My career ultimately became a good example of how many professional basketball careers are built: not through one dramatic breakthrough, but through repeated opportunities, performance, adaptability, relationships, and longevity.
2014–15: KK Feni Industries — North Macedonia
I signed my first professional contract in 2014 with KK Feni Industries in North Macedonia. The Macedonian First League/Superleague was the country’s highest domestic level, and Feni was an established club that had previously won Macedonian championships, domestic cups, and the Balkan League (Marist Athletics, 2014).
In my first professional season, I played 28 games and averaged 12.1 points and 8.7 rebounds while shooting 61.9% from the field (RealGM, n.d.). It was an important first year because the transition from college basketball to European professional basketball involves major changes in spacing, physicality, tactics, officiating, travel, roster expectations, and the pressure placed on import players.
Summer 2015: Detroit Pistons NBA Summer League
After my rookie professional season, I played for the Detroit Pistons in the 2015 NBA Summer League. Summer League is an official NBA offseason competition used for player evaluation, development, and roster scouting, and it provides opportunities for draft picks, young NBA players, G League prospects, and international professionals to compete in front of NBA decision-makers.
I make an important distinction when describing this part of my career: playing in the NBA Summer League is not the same as appearing in an NBA regular-season game. Nevertheless, it was an important opportunity to compete within an NBA organization and test myself in that environment before continuing my career overseas.
2015–16: BC Astana — Kazakhstan, the VTB United League, and FIBA Europe Cup
I joined BC Astana in Kazakhstan for the 2015–16 season. Astana competed in the VTB United League, a cross-border professional league that at the time brought together clubs from Russia and other countries in the region and offered a significantly higher level of competition than many standalone domestic leagues.
Although my time playing for BC Astana was hampered by a severe ankle injury that occurred just 4 days before our first official game, my recorded appearances that season included games in both the VTB United League and FIBA Europe Cup (RealGM, n.d.; FIBA, n.d.). The FIBA Europe Cup is a continental club competition, meaning qualification gives teams the opportunity to play internationally rather than only inside their domestic league.
2016–17: Spirou Charleroi — Belgium, Basketball Champions League, and FIBA Europe Cup
The following season, I signed with Spirou Charleroi in Belgium. Spirou was one of Belgium’s established professional clubs, and the Belgian top division provided another step in my progression through European basketball.
I appeared in 53 games across competitions that season, including 40 Belgian league games, 11 Basketball Champions League games, and two FIBA Europe Cup games (RealGM, n.d.). The Basketball Champions League is FIBA’s premier European club competition and gave me the opportunity to compete against clubs from multiple high-level domestic leagues around Europe.
That season remains one of the best examples of the difference between European professional basketball and the American model. A European club can simultaneously compete in its domestic league, domestic cup, and a continental competition, meaning players may be preparing for opponents from completely different basketball systems within the same week.
2017–18: Beroe Stara Zagora and Koroivos
I began the 2017–18 season with Beroe Stara Zagora in Bulgaria. Beroe competed in Bulgaria’s National Basketball League, the country’s top domestic division, and I also appeared in FIBA Europe Cup qualifying games (FIBA, n.d.).
I left Beroe in October of 2017 due to a back injury (Pars Fracture).
Later in the season, I joined Koroivos in Greece. The Greek Basket League is Greece’s top professional division and exists within one of Europe’s most established basketball cultures, making it another valuable experience in a different style and environment of European basketball.
It was a relatively limited statistical season for me, but it expanded the range of leagues and basketball systems I had experienced before the next phase of my career in Poland.
2018–19: Polpharma Starogard Gdański — My First Season in Poland
I joined Polpharma Starogard Gdański for the 2018–19 season, beginning what would eventually become a long relationship with Polish basketball. Poland’s top division is operated by the Polska Liga Koszykówki and has carried sponsorship names such as Energa Basket Liga and Orlen Basket Liga over the years.
I played 30 league games for Polpharma and averaged 9.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks while shooting over 63% from the field (Polish Basketball Association, n.d.). That season established me as a productive rebounder, interior defender, and efficient finisher in Poland’s highest league.
2019–20: Enea Astoria Bydgoszcz — First Season in Bydgoszcz
In 2019, I signed with Enea Astoria Bydgoszcz as the club returned to Poland’s top division. I averaged 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 21 games while shooting 68.5% on two-point field goals (Polish Basketball Association, n.d.).
The season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Bydgoszcz became an important place in my life and career. Years later, I would return to Astoria with the goal of helping the club earn promotion back to Poland’s top division.
2020–21: Start Lublin
I signed with Start Lublin for the 2020–21 season. My time there was brief, and I appeared in only two Polish league games (Polish Basketball Association, n.d.).
In Lublin I began the season by suffering an ankle injury (avulsion fracture), and after returing, I contracted severe COVID.
Not every season in a long professional career becomes a statistical highlight. Seasons like this are part of professional sports, where injuries, timing, and circumstances can quickly change a career.
2021–22: Legia Warszawa — Polish Silver Medal and a European Quarterfinal
The 2021–22 season with Legia Warszawa became one of the most significant team seasons of my career. Legia finished the Polish playoffs as national runner-up, earning the silver medal after reaching the championship series against Śląsk Wrocław (Legia Warszawa, 2025).
The result carried historical significance for the club. Legia’s own retrospective notes that the 2022 silver was its first Polish league medal since 1969, ending a wait of more than five decades (Legia Warszawa, 2024).
We also made a deep run in the FIBA Europe Cup, finishing 10–4 in the competition and reaching the quarterfinals. I appeared in all 14 FIBA Europe Cup games and averaged 5.4 rebounds in 18 minutes per game, with FIBA listing me among Legia’s leading rebounders during the competition (FIBA, 2022).
Reaching the final eight of a continental European competition while simultaneously making the Polish championship series created one of the most demanding and rewarding schedules of my career. It was also an example of why simply comparing European season statistics without considering multiple competitions can miss a large part of a player’s workload.
2022 Preseason: Olimpia Milano and Ettore Messina
Following the Legia season, I joined Olimpia Milano for part of the club’s 2022 preseason. Olimpia is one of the historic clubs in European basketball and competes in both Italy’s top domestic league and the EuroLeague, widely regarded as the highest level of club basketball outside the NBA.
The club brought me into its preseason group while several regular roster players were away with national teams. Olimpia’s official announcement listed me among four additional players joining the preparation under head coach Ettore Messina, alongside members of a roster that included established EuroLeague players such as Kyle Hines, Brandon Davies, Shavon Shields, and Billy Baron (Olimpia Milano, 2022).
As with NBA Summer League, I think accuracy matters when describing this experience. I trained and participated in preseason with a EuroLeague organization, but I did not play EuroLeague regular-season games for Olimpia Milano.
The experience still gave me the opportunity to train inside one of Europe’s most accomplished basketball organizations and learn from Ettore Messina, whose career has included EuroLeague championships, NBA coaching experience, and decades at the highest levels of international basketball.
2022–23: Alba Fehérvár and Rawlplug Sokół Łańcut
After leaving Olimpia’s preseason, I signed with Alba Fehérvár in Hungary. Hungary’s NB I/A is the country’s top professional basketball division, and I appeared in six games before returning to Poland during the season (RealGM, n.d.).
I joined Rawlplug Sokół Łańcut, which was competing in its first season in Poland’s top division. In 22 Polish league games, I averaged 10.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks while shooting 63.6% from the field and producing a 20.4 average evaluation rating (Polish Basketball Association, 2023).
That was one of my best all-around statistical stretches as a professional. Sokół was fighting to remain in the top league, which made every game meaningful, and my role centered heavily on rebounding, rim protection, interior defense, screens, physicality, and efficient finishing around the basket.
2023–24: Sokół Łańcut and Podkarpackie Athlete of the Year Recognition
I stayed with Sokół Łańcut for the 2023–24 Orlen Basket Liga season and played 29 games, averaging 9.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks (Polish Basketball Association, n.d.).
My time in Łańcut also brought recognition beyond the court. I was selected as Athlete of the Year in Łańcut, and in the 64th Nowiny Sports Plebiscite for the best athletes of 2023 I finished sixth overall in the Podkarpackie regional ranking (Podkarpackie Regional Government, 2024).
That sixth-place finish was meaningful because the Podkarpackie ranking included athletes from many sports across the entire region. The top five ahead of me included world-level and national-level athletes from boxing, volleyball, athletics, and football, while I represented Muszynianka Domelo Sokół Łańcut and basketball in sixth place.
2024–25: A Season Away From Professional Competition
I spent the 2024–25 season without a professional club. After more than a decade of continuous professional basketball, the year gave me a different perspective on training, family, health, and what I wanted from the next stage of my career.
When I chose to return, I wanted the season to have a clear purpose rather than simply extending my career for another year. That opportunity came in Bydgoszcz.
2025–26: Astoria Bydgoszcz — 1 Liga Champion and Promotion
I returned to Astoria Bydgoszcz for the 2025–26 season with one primary competitive goal: help the club get back to Poland’s top division. Astoria was playing in Pekao S.A. 1 Liga, which despite its name is the second tier of Polish basketball, directly below the Orlen Basket Liga.
The distinction matters because promotion is earned through the 1 Liga playoffs. Winning the championship therefore means more than taking a lower-division trophy; it earns the club the right to move into Poland’s highest professional league the following season.
We finished the regular season 27–5 and entered the playoffs as the top team in the standings. Across the full season, I played 45 games and averaged 10.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 61.7% from two-point range and posting a 17.0 average evaluation (Polish Basketball Association, 2026).
The championship series against ŁKS Coolpack Łódź went the full five games. On May 27, 2026, we won the deciding game 96–87 in Bydgoszcz to take the series 3–2, win the Pekao S.A. 1 Liga championship, earn the gold medal, and secure promotion to the Orlen Basket Liga for 2026–27 (Polska Liga Koszykówki, 2026).
I finished the deciding game with 15 points and eight rebounds in just over 30 minutes. After winning silver with Legia Warszawa in 2022, winning the 1 Liga title with Astoria became the first league championship of my professional career and one of the most personally meaningful achievements I have had in basketball.
Understanding the Leagues and Competitions I Have Played In
Professional basketball outside the United States can be difficult to understand because domestic leagues and international competitions overlap. A team may play its national league and cup while simultaneously competing in a FIBA or EuroLeague-run continental competition.
NCAA Division I and the MAAC
NCAA Division I is the highest level of NCAA college athletics. Marist competes in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, so my four years there were played entirely at the Division I level.
NBA Summer League
NBA Summer League is an official NBA offseason competition used to evaluate draft picks, young NBA players, G League players, and professional free agents. Playing for the Detroit Pistons in Summer League put me inside an NBA organization and competition environment, although it is separate from NBA regular-season service.
North Macedonian First League / Superleague
This was the highest domestic basketball level in North Macedonia and the league where I began my professional career with Feni Industries. For me, its importance was that it provided the first opportunity to prove I could be an impact import player in a European professional league.
VTB United League
The VTB United League was a major cross-border league featuring clubs from Russia and neighboring countries. During my time with Astana, it represented one of the strongest domestic/regional competitive environments I had entered to that point in my career.
Basketball Champions League
The Basketball Champions League is FIBA’s premier European club competition. Qualifying means a club is competing not only against teams from its own country but against high-level clubs from multiple European leagues.
I competed in the Basketball Champions League with Spirou Charleroi during the 2016–17 season, appearing in 11 games (FIBA, n.d.).
FIBA Europe Cup
The FIBA Europe Cup is another continental competition organized by FIBA Europe. FIBA’s historical database classifies the competition as a European club competition at the Tier 2 level within its competition structure.
I appeared in the FIBA Europe Cup with Astana, Spirou Charleroi, Beroe, and Legia Warszawa. The deepest run came with Legia in 2021–22, when we reached the quarterfinals (FIBA, n.d.).
Belgian Basketball League
Belgium’s top professional division exposed me to a different Western European style of basketball and a schedule that was combined with Basketball Champions League and FIBA Europe Cup play during my season with Spirou Charleroi.
Bulgarian National Basketball League
The NBL is Bulgaria’s top domestic professional division. I played there with Beroe Stara Zagora before later moving to Greece during the 2017–18 season.
Greek Basket League
The Greek Basket League is Greece’s top domestic division. Greece has one of Europe’s deepest basketball traditions, and competing with Koroivos gave me experience in another demanding first-division environment.
Polish Basketball League / Energa Basket Liga / Orlen Basket Liga
These names refer to Poland’s top professional basketball division during different sponsorship periods. Most of my professional career has ultimately been connected to Poland, with top-division seasons for Polpharma Starogard Gdański, Astoria Bydgoszcz, Start Lublin, Legia Warszawa, and Sokół Łańcut.
The Polish league became especially important to me because I experienced nearly every part of professional basketball there: fighting for survival, making deep playoff runs, winning a silver medal, building long-term relationships with clubs and communities, and eventually returning to the second division to win promotion with Astoria.
Hungarian NB I/A
NB I/A is Hungary’s highest domestic basketball division. I played there with Alba Fehérvár after my 2022 preseason period with Olimpia Milano.
Pekao S.A. 1 Liga
Polish 1 Liga is the second tier directly beneath the Orlen Basket Liga. The league is highly competitive because teams are not simply playing for a championship; the playoff winner earns promotion to Poland’s top level.
That is what made Astoria’s 2025–26 title especially meaningful. We did not only win a gold medal—we accomplished the club’s objective of returning to the highest level of Polish basketball.
EuroLeague and My Olimpia Milano Preseason Experience
The EuroLeague is generally considered the highest level of club basketball outside the NBA. Olimpia Milano is a long-established EuroLeague organization, and I joined its preseason group in 2022 while several regular players were away on national-team duty (Olimpia Milano, 2022).
I did not play official EuroLeague regular-season games, so I describe this accurately as a EuroLeague club preseason experience rather than as playing a EuroLeague season. Training in that environment still gave me firsthand exposure to the preparation, coaching, and expectations inside an elite European organization.

What My Basketball Career Means for Adam Kemp Fitness
My basketball career is not separate from the work I do on Adam Kemp Fitness; it is one of the main reasons the website exists. More than a decade of professional basketball has required me to continually learn about strength, power, conditioning, nutrition, injury management, sleep, recovery, mobility, travel, and long-term physical resilience.
I do not believe that playing professional sports automatically makes someone an expert on every health or fitness topic. That is why I continued my formal education alongside my career, eventually earning a master’s degree in Nutrition Education from American University and becoming an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer.
What professional basketball does give me is a large amount of firsthand context. I have had to apply many of the concepts I write about while preparing for games, managing injuries, changing countries and coaches, maintaining my body through long seasons, and continuing to compete into my mid-30s.
That combination of formal education, research, and lived professional experience is the foundation of how I approach basketball, athletic performance, fitness, nutrition, and recovery on AdamKempFitness.com.
