Best of #BBB: Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman - a podcast by Pure Hoops Media

Buckets, Boards, & Blocks has done nearly 130 shows but we're taking a summer break to regroup and share some of our favorite shows from the archive. In this classic interview from September 2019, Nancy Lieberman shares her legendary story. She has been a pioneer in every sense of the word. She is an extraordinary story teller and almost all of them are from a first person perspective. After Monica checks in with an update on the WNBA Playoffs, Nancy shares her emotional tribute (@ 11:00) to Andre Emmett, one of her Big3 players who was killed on September 22nd. Nancy shares stories about appearing in ESPN's Body issue at age 61 (@14:14), her incredible friendship with Muhammad Ali (@22:10), the career advice she received from former NBA Commissioner David Stern (@ 40:09), the wisdom imparted to her by former President Barack Obama (@41:35), and why Stern and his successor Adam Silver have been so important to the growth of women in basketball (@ 52:50).
