Like most Lithuanians, Germantas started watching basketball from the age of 6. After moving to England, he went on to play the sport for the University of Lincoln, understanding basketball from a playing, viewing and analytical perspective. Germantas' interest in the NBA took off in 2010, when Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. He's been a loyal Raptors fan ever since. Germantas has handicapped the NBA for more than a decade, specializing in player props and point spreads.
