You don't want to miss Part 2 of this incredible 2-part series with Matt Doherty, who teamed with Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and Buzz Peterson at North Carolina to win the 1982 National Championship. He discusses his mistakes while he was the Head Coach at the University of North Carolina, some things about MJ that people didn't know, and his powerful thoughts on Colin Kaepernick, the American Flag and kneeling, and how sports and lockerrooms teach us so much about not only ourselves but the others, especially those that are directly affected by systemic racism and how to be better listeners, learn from our mistakes, and be willing to compromise. And you definitely don't want to miss our very famous rapid fire, "This or That" with Matt as some of his answers may surprise you.
Doherty's book "Rebound: From Pain to Passion - Leadership Lessons Learned" goes in-depth about what he learned from his stormy 3-year tenure as UNC's basketball coach

Remember, your voice matters when fighting systemic racism. Read a book, acknowledge your white privilege, watch a movie about institutional racism, call your local or state representatives, and/or have a conversation with someone that doesn't look like you so that we can change the economic, educational, police, housing, and prison narratives that currently need to be changed in this country.

Mad Props to Natty White the founder of Moolahkicks.com. The First Women’s Basketball Sneaker Brand. Sneaker drop will be in May of 2021. Moolah represents like MONEEEEEY as if to give a positive nod to the street culture of basketball which often gets a negative rap and the fact that more money should be dedicated to girls, women, and in this case, women's basketball kicks.
Please mask up, remember black lives matter, peace...
