"David":

Today's guest does not need much introduction, David Blatt is one of the most accomplished coaches to ever coach in Europe. One of few coaches to win at every possible level, most notably a Euroleague championship in 2014, Eurocup in 2018, Eurochallenge in 2005, Adriatic League in 2012, European champion at the National Team level in 2007 as well as Bronze in 2011 & Bronze in the London Olympics in 2012. Obviously, he also has countless domestic league and cup titles to accompany those accomplishments.

Today's episode was a unique & rare one. We kicked the conversation off by raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis and continued talking about his current new roles with Maccabi TelAviv as well as Canadian National Team. David went on to share his limitless knowledge on countless topics that ranged from sliding door moments in his career, over the process of hiring his assistant coaches and staff in general, what he looks for and what he values the most. We went on to discuss some Xs&Os situations to satisfy the ears of all nerds listening. David talked about the need of 'Cultural Competency' when coaching in different countries and cultures. Off course the Maccabi championship team from 2014 was also a topic as well as some philosophical topics that included the art of being self critical and questions to ask yourself after games.
