Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Miha Zupan (born September 13, 1982 in Kranj, Slovenia, is a Slovenian professional basketball player. Despite being deaf since birth, he plays among hearing players at the highest level in Europe. He is a 2.05 m (6 ft 8 in) power forward who can also play center when needed. Zupan spent most of his childhood in a special school for the deaf, eventually learning to speak. An unspecified type of hearing aid would later give him enough hearing to understand speech. He did not learn to play basketball until age 14, instead playing football and volleyball. After his first basketball coach spotted him in a schoolyard, he took to the game quickly, soon joining Slovenia's national basketball team for the deaf, which twice made the finals of the European championships with Zupan as its star. At age 17, he signed his first contract with a regular professional team, KD Slovan of Ljubljana. During his teenage years, he grew 20 cm (8 inches) in an 18-month period, leading to knee problems that sidelined him for several months early in his pro career.
