The Man Hated and Spurned for Paving the Way for Every Early Entry NBA Star: A Conversation with Spencer Haywood - a podcast by Ric Bucher, NBA insider; Ryan Hollins, ESPN; Will Blackmon, FS1/Fox Radio

Ric talks with Hall of Fame big man Spencer Haywood, the Forrest Gump of basketball for having been part of so many historic moments and crossed paths with so many historic figures -- from being at the Olympics with John Carlos and Tommie Smith when they made their black power salute, to being coached by legends Bill Russell and Hank Iba, to playing with Magic and Kareem and, of course, opening the door for every early-entry star in NBA history.
