About Louis Amundson

Louis Amundson: The Journeyman Baller

Louis Amundson was born on December 7, 1982, in Ventura, California. From a young age, he showed a natural talent for basketball, which he honed at his local high school. After graduation, he attended UNLV, where he played for the Runnin' Rebels and was named the Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2004.

Amundson went undrafted in the 2006 NBA draft but didn't let that stop him. He played for several teams in the NBA G League before finally getting his big break with the Utah Jazz in 2007. From there, he bounced around the league, playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks.

Despite never being a star player, Amundson's hard work and dedication earned him a reputation as a reliable role player. He was known for his hustle, rebounding, and shot-blocking abilities, as well as his willingness to do whatever it took to help his team win.

Off the court, Amundson is a devoted father and philanthropist. He founded the Louis Amundson Foundation, which supports various charitable causes, including education, health, and human services.

Today, Amundson is retired from professional basketball but remains involved in the sport as a coach and mentor. He continues to inspire young players with his story of perseverance and determination.
