Thurl  Bailey was a starting forward on the N.C. State Mens basketball team that was coached by the legend Jim Valvano and famous  for their unforgettable NCAA tournament run in 1983 where they would ultimately win the NCAA  championship and shock the sports world .

He would later go on to have an impressive career in the NBA with the Utah Jazz  .Thurl accomplished so much in his basketball career, but before he could live his dream on the court, he had to first  figure out how to   actually get on the court and overcome the challenge  of  being cut from his middle school basketball team two years in a row. In this episode Thurl shares with Anthony the concept of seeing ourselves and others through the right lens, the importance of preparation, and  putting yourself in positions to win. He also shares a cool story about first meeting Coach V and recalls the time he made the team practice cutting down the net.
