Buckle Up Podcast Universe – Special Guest: Roscoe Wilson 

Today, we had the incredible honor of welcoming Roscoe Wilson, father of WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson, to the Buckle Up Podcast Universe with Brandon Rush and Mama Rush. This episode was more than just a conversation—it was a journey through legacy, perseverance, and the foundation of greatness.


Roscoe opened up about his upbringing in South Carolina, reflecting on the powerful influence of his mother and father, and how their values helped shape the man he is today. He shared vivid stories of growing up during school integration, offering heartfelt and eye-opening insight into that pivotal moment in American history. A former basketball player himself, Roscoe also spoke about his experiences playing overseas in Venezuela and Sweden, and how those international journeys taught him discipline, resilience, and perspective.

One of the most touching moments came when Roscoe and Mama Rush reconnected, reminiscing about their shared childhood roots and how their upbringing influenced the way they raised their children. Roscoe spoke candidly about what it means to raise a champion—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

We were deeply moved by his wisdom, humility, and the legacy he continues to build through his family. Roscoe Wilson will definitely be back for a future episode, and we can’t wait to share more of his story with you all.
