Grunfeld in conversation with Craig Karmazin, CEO,
Good Karma Brands, and grandson of Abram Matlofsky

Former
NBA player and executive Ernie Grunfeld is the only athlete in NBA
history whose parents survived the Holocaust. A new book written by
his son, former professional basketball player Dan Grunfeld, details
their family’s history and extraordinary American story, as well as
the profound impact that basketball has had in their lives. Ernie
Grunfeld was ten years old when his family immigrated to America from
Communist Romania, with no knowledge of English and having never
touched a basketball. Roughly ten years later, he stood on the podium
as an Olympic gold medalist for the United States.
