Eric Obeysekere

Who is Eric Obeysekere?

Eric Obeysekere is a Sri Lankan American basketball player. He was the first person from the Indian subcontinent to be offered a Division 1 scholarship to play men's basketball. Unlike many post players, Eric has a fairly complete offensive game to go with his strong defensive presence, scoring from 20 feet in on a range of jump shots, hook shots, post up moves, finger rolls and dunks. Known as a finesse player, Obeysekere is deceptively strong, has outstanding court vision and runs the open court extremely well.
