If you’re a true basketball fan then you have probably seen the famous documentary Hoop Dreams. We have one of the stars from the film and Marquette alumni William Gates on the show today! It’s an absolute honor to have the opportunity to hangout and learn from someone who we consider basketball royalty. Ever wonder what happened behind the scenes of Hoop Dreams and what William is up to these days? Then you’ve tuned into the right podcast.


There is a whole lot more to William Gates than what you see in Hoop Dreams and we get to hear all about it. Gates didn’t have the average high school experience having cameras around 24/7. You will learn quickly that he is just as likable and as easy to cheer for as he was as the young man in the film. Gates shares his whole childhood, basketball journey, and walks us through the whole process of filming, editing, and the continued legacy of Hoop Dreams. We also hear more about his time at the Nike Camp, his college basketball experience at Marquette, training with Michael Jordan and MUCH more.


We can’t thank William Gates enough for taking the time to share his experiences with us. Hoop Dreams has meant so much to everyone who has watched it and is something that goes BEYOND basketball. Such a cool opportunity to hangout with William and we know that this will be just as enjoyable for you to listen to as it was for us.


BIG thank you William Gates!
