“I actually went to school on a volleyball scholarship. When I was in Baruch, we were the number one in volleyball. We went to play against Harvard and Yale and we slayed them.
“We were champions across the Northeast corridor. Every school that came up against us, they were shaking at the time. And it’s funny, I was the smallest guy and I’m 6’2″.
“We had on our block alone – they were 6’7″ and 6’8” – these guys weren’t jumping, they were just stretching their arms up. All of us should have been playing basketball but we chose volleyball because it was easier.
“It was a great time. Look, I sacrificed both my knees and got very nice knee replacements from HSS [from] playing volleyball. That’s how serious I took the game.” – George Santos, in yet another unearthed interview.
“HSS” likely refers to the highly-regarded orthopedic Hospital for Special Surgery, which is located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Earlier this week it reported that Santos stole his volleyball stories from a former boss who was a legitimate champion in the sport.
Santos has also claimed to have had a brain tumor and to have been among the first ten New Yorkers to get COVID.
