In this wide sweeping conversation, hosts Chinny and Emmett sit down with legendary basketball player, broadcaster, and professor, Len Elmore! They dig into what made Len an all time rebounder in college and his career in the NBA, what it was like to call nationally broadcasted basketball games, and how he views athletes’ role in the past, present and future of social activism. Hearing Len’s passion and insight was a real pleasure and we hope you enjoy it!
