Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Kendall Gill

Enjoyed the time playing in the Big 3 League founded by Ice Cube but felt his age negatively impacted how he was viewed as a playerStays in shape today through boxing

Boxing was his first sport he started playing and didn’t even like basketball

Played multiple sports and starting playing basketball when his family moved to the suburbs of ChicagoHe was convinced that he would play at Michigan St., however, the morning after making the decision to attend Michigan St. he changed his mind a signed with Illinois

Greatest moment in his playing career is making the Final Four in 1989 with Illinois on the team labeled,“Flyin’ Illini”

Suffered devasting migraine headaches throughout his NBA careerFeels that he could be in the Hall of Fame if he wouldn’t have let so many distractions cloud his mental focus

Biggest regret in his NBA career is not agreeing to a deal with the Los Angeles LakersCurrently working as an NBA studio analyst for Comcast Sportsnet in Chicago for the Chicago Bulls

Words of Wisdom from Kendall Gill:“Define yourself for yourself or you’ll be trapped in someone else’s fantasies and eaten alive.”
