Three is the magic number, yes it is and in this third episode of PARLE, Jen and I sit down with the University of Minnesota Gopher HOF Albert Nuness (Founder of INVICTUS), Most male athletes at Hopkins high school Minnetonka, MN can say, at one point in time, that they wanted to play in the NBA. One former faculty member at Hopkins Public Schools can check that off a list of things he has done with his life.

Al Nuness former Paraprofessional, is a name some Hopkins high school students would not know, but if someone were to mention the man who, on most days, wears a jumpsuit you would know who they are talking about. Nuness is in fact a former NBA player, but has a whole different set of skills he likes to share about.

After two years in Junior College at Iowa Central, Albert Nuness committed to the Gophers after a visit from a prominent former U of M alumnus. At the University of Minnesota Al Nuness was an All-Big Ten player and team captain in the 1968-69 season, scoring 740 points in just two years and averaging 15.4 points per game as a Gopher. On Oct. 20, 2016 Nuness was inducted into the University of Minnesota Hall of Fame.
