Tom Meschery had one of the most unusual paths to the NBA. Descended from Russian nobility, his family escaped the Bolshevik Revolution and settled in China. They were then captured by the Japanese during World War II. His family finally settled in San Francisco and with this newfound stability, Meschery was able to blossom as an athlete and eventually made it to the NBA.
