Show Notes

We are taking it back to one of our favorite eras of hoops for this one. The Super-Sub is in the house! Ricky Sobers joins us on the podcast for an episode that true basketball fans will absolutely love and appreciate. 

Ricky Sobers grew up in The Bronx, NY during a very special era of basketball. He was one of the greatest players from the city to ever play on the blacktop during his time and never even played a minute of High School basketball. His love for the game and guidance from  Tiny Archibald helped him continue his basketball dreams to the College of Southern Idaho and UNLV where he was coach Jerry Tarkanian’s first big recruit and was the WCAC Player of the Year in 1974-75. Sobers became the 16th overall pick in the 1975 NBA Draft. He played 11 seasons in the NBA and played in the famous "Greatest Game Ever Played”.


This was truly an honor. Sobers shared amazing stories about the blacktop game in NYC, Tiny Archibald, Joe Hammond, Jerry Tarkanian, UNLV, Rick Barry, Paul Westphal, Gar Heard, The Greatest Game Ever Played, raising his number 40 to the rafters and MUCH more. BIG Thanks to Ricky Sobers! We are forever grateful for the opportunity and we know you’ll all love and appreciate his journey just as much as we did.


Thank you Ricky Sobers!
