The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 182 – Viva Las YEGas
When you have to reinvent yourself, do you look to the Olympic opening ceremonies for fashion forwardness… or do you sponsor an entire Olympic sport?
If your name becomes a verb like Jeffrey Atkins’ did, can you reinvent yourself in something that is so fleeting like celebrity?
The answers to pressing questions like these can be found in this week’s episode of the podcast, where we’re talking all things Olympic basketball, from how a first-team All-NBA player, newly minted with the biggest contract in league history right after helping his own team to the 2023-2024 title and 2020 Olympic gold medalist, doesn’t see the court, USA’s 3x3 woes and ponder the Olympic future of The World’s Most Unique Basketball Tournament, FC21CA while welcoming the youngest champ ever into #mapleGxNG!
News. Views. Truths.
