The duo has been playing together for about two years. After practicing ceaselessly, they built a chemistry as a duo and are now first-time olympians.
While practicing on Hermosa Beach, Budinger and Evans added fan noises, chants of “USA! USA!” as background for their drills to prepare for what the stadium will sound like in Paris.Budinger, who was once an NBA player signed with over five national basketball teams and one international team over the span of 8 years, turned to beach volleyball after retiring from his professional basketball career.
Evans, who connected with Budinger through the Association of Volleyball Professionals, played volleyball for two years at UC Santa Barbara before retiring to focus on professional beach volleyball. “It comes in waves, for sure,” said Evans about feeling nervous leading up to the Olympics. “At certain moments, my buddies are like, ‘Dude, you’re an Olympian!’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, no way!’”
