This episode is about as real as it gets. We got Keith “The Boss” Closs in the house! We have been wanting to do this episode for quite some time and it did not disappoint one bit.
Closs was ahead of his time. In an era where 7 footers played on the block with their back to the basket, the 7’3’’ Closs could handle the ball, shoot the rock from outside, and is without question one of if not THE best blocker of all time. His 2 years at Central Connecticut are historic as he led the nation in blocked shots and to this day holds the NCAA record for highest career average in blocked shots per game (5.87). He spent 3 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers and we get to hear all about business of the NBA and the events that transpired that put an end to his NBA career after just 3 seasons. At age 45, Keith is still hooping, giving back to youth and mentoring young pros which is something we truly admire. Amazing stories shared in this one about the high school/AAU circuit in LA, journey to NBA, Kobe, Donald Sterling, Michael Jordan, recovery, coaching, his new custom shoe and MUCH more.
Keith was unbelievably gracious with his time. He gave us so many great stories and dropped incredible knowledge that will really help shape and inspire young hoopers coming up. We truly cannot thank him enough and we know the best is yet to come.
Thank you Keith Closs!
