On the record
NBA centre, Duke national champion (2010) and gold medallist with the United States at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, the middle of three Plumlee brothers to reach the league.
The verifiable record runs as follows. Mason Alexander Plumlee was born 5 March 1990 in Fort Wayne. He attended Warsaw Community High School for a year before transferring to Christ School in Arden, North Carolina, where he was a 2009 McDonald's All-American. At Duke (2009–2013) he won the 2010 NCAA championship as a freshman alongside his brother Miles, and by his senior year was a consensus second-team All-American and winner of the Pete Newell Big Man Award. The Brooklyn Nets drafted him 22nd overall in 2013, and he made the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2014. His gold medal with the United States came at the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain, where the team finished 9–0. He was named a finalist for the 2020 United States Olympic team but did not play in an Olympic tournament. An earlier printing of this profile's head line gave him an Olympic gold medal in 2016; that does not check against USA Basketball's record, and the head line has been corrected — the World Cup gold is the documented honor.
