Russ Smith had no idea he was going to play professional basketball after not playing his freshman year at Louisville. After winning a national champion, becoming an all American, setting the record for the most points scored in a single game in G-League history, playing professionally all over the world including the NBA, there should be no surprises at this point. It also shouldn’t be a surprise to see the success Russ has had off the court, starting his own Bourbon company, Mr. and Mrs Bourbon. While Russ is currently playing in Italy, keep an eye for his Bourbon to disrupt market across the entire U.S. as well as internationally.
