Former Elon basketball forward Adam Constantine departed the United States this month to take a big leap toward his dream of playing in the NBA. Constantine has signed with Rilski Sportist of the Bulgarian and Balkan leagues and will spend the next year living in the town of Samokov in southwest Bulgaria. He will be keeping a blog of his experiences overseas.
Constantine graduated from Elon in May with a degree in media arts and entertainment and a minor in acting.
In his senior year with the Phoenix basketball team, he served as a co-captain for coach Matt Matheny’s squad. Constantine garnered second-team All-SoCon honors as well as mention on the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association University Division All-State Men’s Basketball Second Team. The highlight of his season came in Elon’s 79-76 loss to N.C. State in December 2009, when he scored a career-high 26 points at the RBC Center in his hometown of Raleigh, N.C.
