The Open Run With Will Strickland
Episode 132 – Son Of The City
What do Zion Lateef Williamson, Temetrius Jamel Morant and Nikola J’Mayne Jokic have in common, outside of being men who play a game for lots and lots of
money?
In one way or another, they are sons of their cities, be it their hometowns or adopted, current environs.
Fame and infamy oddly favour each other and it is a dynamic that exists for the players identified as well as Wall $t. and his special guest, the legendary music industry vet and now-author of his narrative, Dante Ross.
The guys share tales of lifetimes rooted in love, loss, light and leadership that eventually give ways to growth, spirituality and understanding of being perfectly imperfected.
Also on the program, we look at how the safety and sanctity of Brittney Griner, her teammates and the WNBA got threatened, NBA coaches continue to play musical chairs, Full Court 21 Canada gets closer to its yearly launch date and a new champion’s crowning creates a gateway for overdoers to overdo in excess as lenses get skewed over places in basketball’s Pantheon of Greatness
