It’s our pleasure to catch up with Priest Lauderdale today! All of you 90’s hoops fans will be pumped about this one and one thing is for sure, someone needs to update this man’s Basketball Reference and Wikipedia page. Even though we experienced a few technical difficulties during this one, Priest stuck with us and still took the time to share his story and we truly appreciate him.
Priest Lauderdale never played high school or AAU basketball. After developing his skills on the blacktop in Chicago, the 7’3’’ center played his college hoops at Central State University before heading overseas to prepare for the NBA. He was the 28th overall pick in the historic 1996 NBA Draft. He played 2 seasons in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks and the Denver Nuggets and continued to play many seasons professionally overseas. Priest shares great stories about growing up in Chicago, the NBA Draft process, Dikembe Mutombo, the 90’s Bulls, business of the NBA, his experience overseas, Wikipedia & Internet errors and MUCH more.
BIG thanks to Priest for taking the time to hang out with us and sharing his journey. We also really appreciate him for sticking with us through our connection issues. We learned a lot from him today and we know that you will all enjoy this one too!
Thank you Priest Lauderdale!
