Sports ia our language, and part of the reason we eat, think, and breathe! Sports is a microcosm of our society, and there's no other man to talk about that with more than NBA SiriusXM Radio Host Gerald Brown. Broadcast extraordinaire, coach, and father, hear Gerald tell Naya and Shan behind the veil stories about his In the Key co-host, BJ Armstrong, Charles Oakley, and longtime friend Penny Hardaway. Sport unites people, and excites people! And Gerald makes it his journalistic mission to offer athletes and fans passion, and a unique perspective.

David vows to put people over politics and will move Central Illinois forward.
