On this episode, get on board to experience the ride that it is to be an NBA player. We're joined by Michael Carter Williams, whose basketball journey is truly unique one. After being selected 11th overall by the Sixers, Michael had a breakout first season and was named Rookie of the Year. You would think things could only blossom from there.
He tells us just how it can change in the blink of an eye. Trusting the process doesn't work out for every player, and beyond ability, it comes down to fit, timing and opportunity. Rebuilds, salary caps and injuries are all factors that most players don't have on their radar when they're going out and competing. Gil also points out that you have to expect those changes at all times, that's the constant. Also, when you're in the middle of it, it takes a singular focus.
