HEY NOW PODCAST: CONVOS & JOURNEY- FEAT NIGEL WRIGHT GLOBAL BASKETBALL MARKETING NEW BALANCE


Listen Later

We had the pleasure of sitting down and chopping it up with Nigel Wright and man what a dope conversation, very knowledgeable person. Nigel really has a unique and interesting background. He is currently Global Basketball Marketing for New Balance but his journey leading up to this position is really an interesting one. He put in work with the Players Tribute  as well as help develop the “ The Knucklehead podcast with Q Rich and D Miles He also worked for the company “The Robot” which is ran by Maverick Carter you can even try to google but will find no info on it, so you can tell it’s only for the elite lol. Just a few places Nigel has left his imprint on.  * * Nigel also came up as a Rice Rider so he is not new to this and once you get to hear his journey you are going to understand how inspiring it is. It definitely got my mind working and truly grateful he took the time out and kicked with us. I truly know he is going to do job at New Balance. * * We touched on Kyrie needing a pause for a min, because even I use my mental health days from work when I’m not feeling it lol so what’s the difference? As well as spoke on how former players who are now analyzers criticize those who are playing now. ( I’m talking about trying to kick down players for rating and click bait, I thought the league was supposed to be a fraternity ) and more.... Overall I really enjoyed this sit down...Learned a lot. So many hidden gems  * * * The number of people of color in sports is so so small, that when you see something in that position you have to applaud it because the opportunities are not there.... That’s a narrative that definitely has to change ASAP.
