REST IN PEACE DON. Don passed away not long after coming on the show. He was so gracious with his time. And when I stopped at his table at Brother's Restaurant in San Diego to say hello and ask him if he played at Marquette as he was proudly wearing his blue Jordan dri-fit shirt, he asked me and my daughter to have a seat and join him as he was alone at the time (but a regular at Brother's where Tiger Woods and Troy Polamalu and others have eaten). He proceeded to hand me It was such an honor to have had him on our show. He was such a kind soul and will be missed.

You don't want to miss this incredible interview with former two time NBA All-Star Don Kojis. Don played with or against the likes of Willis Reed, Wilt Chamberlain, John Havlicek, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, and Oscar Robertson. The latter and Don worked together to help come up with a collective bargaining agreement and guaranteed contracts that forever changed the face of the NBA. Don shares his incredible story including meeting Vince Lombardi, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Hank Aaron and how he went from growing up a cheesehead to playing his college ball at Marquette (where his jersey is now retired) to the NBA and to life after basketball. And you don't want to miss this epic "This or That" segment of the podcast.

Mr. Chibbs - the full story can be found on Prime Video. Kenny Anderson joined Hootie Hoot in The Sports Deli Podcast: Where Everyone Deserves a Seat at the Table and shares his incredible journey. Kenny dealt with drugs and alcoholism in his own home growing up and then had a drinking problem himself as he got older. He was sexually abused and in his words, "Basketball is Easy, Life is Hard". All Kenny wanted to do was take care of his mom and he did. But when she passed away, it hit Chibbs hard and it took him losing 63 million dollars and much much more before getting a second (and third chance) to coach and be able to pay it forward as the leader of young men as a college coach. You don't want to miss this incredible interview where Chibbs talks about his childhood, his time at Georgia Tech leading the Yellow Jackets to the Final Four (the same year the football team won the National Championship), his 14-year NBA career, and our very famous rapid fire segment of the podcast, "this or that". You will not believe who he says is the best player he ever played with. Here's a hint: He's from Detroit and played at Syracuse.

Curt Miller, Head Coach and general manager of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun joined former WNBA original, Dr. Auntie Chantel and Hootie Hoot for this incredible interview. Coach Miller becomes the 14th WNBA player or coach to join us in The Sports Deli Podcast. Coach Miller talks about his upbringing in Girard, Pennsylvania, and how he became the youngest Division I coach in history at the time he started coaching college basketball. He talks about coming out as a gay white male which which was extremely difficult even though his brother and sister had already come out. His evolution in that space is incredible as he talks about this as well his white privilege and how he initially took a back seat during the racial reckoning after the death of George Floyd but quickly realized as uncomfortable as it was, his leadership in this space was imperative. He talks about how words matter as does context and some of the mistakes he's made and how proud and honored he is to be a layer and a leader in the WNBA during this historic 25th year. And you don't want to miss his answers to our very famous rapid fire, "This or That" segment of the podcast.
