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

We got an Australian Basketball legend joining us today. We have former NBA and NBL player Lanard Copeland in the house! He is one of the NBL’s great high-flyers and automatic scorers and he has an inspiring journey that is like no other. Trust us!
Lanard Copeland was cut every single year from his high school team. In fact, the very first jersey that he ever wore was his first year of college basketball at Georgia State. After not being selected in the 1989 NBA Draft, Copeland again had to prove that he belonged on the basketball court. He worked his way into the NBA where he played 2 years in the NBA for the 76ers and Clippers. Copeland continued his basketball career in the NBL where he had a Hall of Fame career that included 5 All Star appearances, 2 NBL Championships, a Grand Finals MVP and his number 21 being retired. Not bad for a guy who was cut from his high school team. Copeland shares great stories about growing up in ATL, Georgia State, Willie Brown, journey to NBA, David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Rick Mahorn, Hersey Hawkins, Michael Jordan, Larry Johnson, Andrew Gaze, growth of NBL and MUCH more.
This was truly an honor to learn more about Copeland’s basketball journey today. His story is one that will help and inspire a lot of young athletes who may have been cut from their teams but still have a deep love and passion for the game. This is the ultimate success story from never wearing a jersey until college to raising a jersey to rafters. We know you’re going to love this one!
Thank you Lanard Copeland!
