“Water is so essential. It is basic to life itself. When you think about your own life and all the blessings you have, it only makes sense to help others lead lives where their basic needs are met and they can live the lives they deserve.”
Brogdon played college basketball for the Virginia Cavaliers under Tony Bennett. As a senior in 2015-16, he was a consensus first-team All-American. He was also named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player in conference history to earn both honors in the same season.
Brogdon was selected in the second round of the 2016 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 36th overall pick. He went on to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, becoming the first second-round pick in the NBA to win the award since 1965. In 2019, Brogdon became the eighth player in NBA history to achieve a 50-40-90 season.
