BRIAN HOLLAND

Brian Holland is a former American professional basketball player in Barcelona. Born in Denver Colorado on March 25, 1991, Brian traveled through Europe in search of an opportunity to play 5 years after thinking his days of playing competitively had come to an end with his sophomore season at California Lutheran University.

Brian played two seasons with CB Sant Josep in Badalona, Catalunya. His first season with the team was played in Copa Catalunya. He helped Sant Josep to a 26-4 record, finishing second place and promotion to the next league. His second season was with the same club, playing in Liga EBA.

After the second season, Brian returned to Colorado and decided it was time to begin his ''Life After Basketball.'' This includes starting Affinity Basketball Club with former teammate and training partner in Europe, Chris Hortman.

More of Brian's stories can be heard on The AmbCatShow, a podcast he started in the spring of 2022. Brian is an Astrologer, studying with his astrology teacher and mentor, former NFL legend, Ricky Williams.
