Kale Abrahamson was within months of fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a pro basketball player with the NBA when he came to a shocking realization about himself: he no longer wanted the prize that he had spent more than half his life pursuing.
“I realized that the real reason I wanted to get into the NBA was not because I loved the game. It was because I wanted to make a lot of money. That was the cold hard truth,” Kale admits.
His epiphany led the then 23-year-old college basketball star to where he is today: CEO and co-founder of a multimillion-dollar e-commerce enterprise called Nine University.

Kale’s Story: Aspiring to Play for the NBA
Kale started playing basketball before he could walk. Starting in the 5th grade, Kale practiced basketball obsessively seven days a week. His single-minded determination and hard work paid off: by his senior year in high school Kale was ranked 135th in the nation, had traveled the world playing basketball, and received scholarship offers from 17 different universities all over the country — including Harvard, Stanford, Wake Forest and Northwestern University.
