Born in California, Blias was all about water sports and basketball growing up. As he got taller, basketball took center stage and college coaches took notice.  Among those coaches was Duke's Mike Krzyzewski who just finished his second season in Durham.  Bilas was part of a talented recruiting class that would help elevate Duke basketball and lead them to the 1986 National Championship game (Duke lost to Louisville 72-69). After that stinging setback, Bilas would be drafted by the Dallas Mavericks before spending the next three years playing overseas. Asked to join Coach K's staff, Bilas returned to Duke and from 1990-92 was a grad assistant while also attending Law School. During his time on the sidelines, The Blue Devils won two National Titles (1991 and 1992). In 1993, Bilas started his broadcasting career alongside longtime Voice of the Blue Devils Bob Harris.  That experience led to him joining ESPN in 1995 while also calling NCAA tournament games at CBS working alongside veteran broadcaster Dick Enberg. Bilas shares his memories with us, including the best player he coached, the broadcast partners he's enjoyed working with the most and how his 2014 book "Toughness" came to be. He also gives his thoughts on the state of college athletics, the NBA Draft drinking game based on one word he says often, his acting career and his daily tweets featuring lyrics from rapper Young Jeezy.
