Not In My House (A Basketball Podcast)
We have a strong love for basketball and the doors that it can open outside of the game itself. We love to give current and former players, coaches, artists, and historians their recognition and the platform they deserve to tell their story and teach our listeners about the game and applying lessons we learn from hoops to everyday life. We don't care for hot takes, we don't care for debates but we do care about giving back to the game and giving people the recognition they deserve for their hard work, dedication, their experiences and their knowledge to give our listeners and ourselves a better understanding of the game, the business, and life beyond hoops. We also like to have have fun! Any Questions? Suggestions? You can email us at Notinmyhousepodcast@gmail.com Much Love to you all! Twitter - @NOTINMYHOUSEpc Instagram- @not_in_my_house_podcast

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!
