Meeting Brian Cook

I made another visit to the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu. The visit consisted of meeting former Los Angeles Laker Brian Cook.

Brian played his college ball at Illinois where he was a standout his senior year. He earned the honor of being named the Big Ten Conference Player of the Year in 2003. The Los Angeles Lakers took notice and selected Brian as the 24th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Brian spent several seasons playing in LA both as a Los Angeles Laker and Clipper.

After playing for a number of teams and a lengthy NBA career, Brian called it quits in 2012. He now takes his talents to the Optometry Practice of Dr. Alex Corbin Liu as a staff member. It was a pleasure to meet him.
