They're here! The greatest sporting days of the year! The NCAA tournament is upon us, and today on the podcast we've got some legends of the past to get you fired up for the present.
[DraftKings: Free $25,000 March Madness Fantasy Basketball Contest]
We start by talking with Jamal Mashburn (1:55 mark), and we discuss who the former Kentucky star is picking to win the NCAAs (take a guess) and whether his Kentucky teams could match up with the 2015 version. We also ask him about the recent 30 for 30 documentary "I Hate Christian Laettner," and we ask if he too actually hates Laettner (13:47 mark). Finally, we get his perspective on the remainder of this year's Final Four hopefuls outside of those cats from Lexington.
From there, it's off to Bo Kimble, one of the stars of that legendary 1989-1990 Loyola-Marymount team (26:49 mark). This was a squad that could score 100 points in a college-length game like they were tying their shoes, but they suffered unimaginable tragedy when their leader, Hank Gathers, died on the court late in the season of heart failure. Kimble tells us what Hank was really like (39:34 mark), as well as how the team banded together in the wake of his death, how they handled a run-and-shoot offense unlike any other in the game, and how he'd love to take over the coaching reins at Loyola-Marymount.
