It was not until he was 13 that he discovered basketball, and now he's on his way to the NBA.During an interview with Whistle, Maluach talked about his childhood, including how he was introduced to basketball."I only played soccer growing up — it was the only sport I knew until I picked up a basketball," he said (TS- 1:32) ."Whenever I scored a goal, I used to do the "Siuu!" Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration. I think I was 13 when a random guy stopped by on a bike and told me to go watch a basketball camp."As soon as I walked in, I saw a lot of tall people running after the basketball, dribbling, dunking, smiling, and shooting. I thought, 'Wow, this sport must be very good.' Just because of that, I came back the next day, picked up a basketball, and decided to play."Maluach started slow until he eventually caught up. At just 18 years old, it took him only five years — starting from scratch — to become one of the most promising young hoopers in the world.
