Thurl Bailey is joined by Mark Eaton&nbsp;(Utah Jazz center 1982-1993, NBA All-Star, 2x Defensive Player of the Year) to talk about his story of working as a mechanic before getting picked up by the Utah Jazz on a one-year contract and the power of persistence.
Then we talk about Mark's latest book, The Four Commitments of a Winning Team, the importance of knowing your role, focusing on your strengths, doing what you're asked to do, and the bond you build when protecting others.

Dick Vitale on his time as Piston's head coach, NCAA one-time transfer rule, and Jim Valvano's impact

Thurl Bailey has stories to tell. After more than a decade playing in the NBA as Big T for the Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves, Thurl has seen a thing or two. And he still has things he wants to learn. He's a musician, father, husband and friend and he's interested in talking with people. That's what he'll do each week on Thurl Talk: share his own life experiences and learn from the stories of others. Whether it's about his life on the court, behind a mic or sitting at the kitchen counter, count on getting to know the real Thurl Bailey and maybe learn a little something from his friends.
