How fitting to have #23 as the guest for our 23rd episode for Season 3! Mizzou and Pauldingburg is going to love this one… Mr. Oldenburg himself! We got Rickey Paulding on the podcast today to share his hoops story with us.
Rickey Paulding left his mark on Missouri after an outstanding college career. He went on to be drafted 54th overall by his hometown Detroit Pistons before going to play overseas, including an absolutely legendary career in Germany. He is incredibly beloved in Oldenburg where locals refer to the city name as “Pauldingburg” and you can find murals and portraits of him throughout. His number 23 hangs in Oldenburg having just recently retired after 15 amazing years there. Rickey shares some great stories about growing up in Detroit, the recruiting process, Mizzou, Coach Quin Snyder, Arthur Johnson, Dwayne Wade, Tony Allen, the Draft process, his wild experiences overseas, his love for Germany, and MUCH more!
This was an absolute honor to learn from one of Zach’s favorite college players of ALL TIME. There are so many great stories and tips shared in this episode and we are forever grateful for the experience. Rickey Paulding is hands down one of the most down to earth and fun guests that we have ever had. We now understand more than ever why he is so loved in Oldenburg and even has the city nicknamed after him!
Thank you Rickey Paulding!
