Chase Budinger, a former NBA player, has transitioned to the world of beach volleyball and is now representing Team USA at the Olympics. Budinger, who had a successful career in basketball, is now showcasing his skills on the sandy courts in Paris, with the iconic Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.

Having played over 400 games in the NBA for various teams, Budinger brings a wealth of experience and athleticism to the volleyball court. His partner, Miles Evans, complements his skills, forming a formidable duo for the US team.

Competing in his first Olympics at the age of 36, Budinger is determined to make a mark in the sport he has always been passionate about. The duo started their Olympic campaign with a win but faced a setback in their second game, setting up a crucial match against Spain to secure a spot in the next phase of the competition.

As they battle it out on the court, the US team is receiving strong support from their fans, cheering them on to victory. Despite trailing in the first set against Spain, Budinger and Evans are giving their all to turn the tide in their favor and advance in the tournament.
