Episode 26 brings us from Vancouver Island to Dallas, Texas with current Texas Legends GM, Vice President of Basketball Operations and Special Assistant to the Owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Al Whitley. A proud BC guy, he talks about being childhood friends with Steve Nash, the level of basketball on Vancouver Island during the early 90s, playing at the University of New Brunswick before transferring back to SFU, meeting Mark Cuban, transitioning into a marketing role, becoming the Head Equipment Manager and so much more! Plus, we dive into his relationship with Mark Cuban, the magic and character of Dirk Nowitzki, the '06 and '11 Mavs, and more drive-bys at our favourite German guest. We hope you enjoy!
