An interview with former New York Knick, John Wallace

from Spark: The InnovateLI Podcast · host InnovateLI

John Wallace needs no introduction to fans of the Syracuse Orange or the New York Knicks – but you might not know how deeply the Rochester native’s roots run throughout New York State. Since hanging up his professional sneakers, the one-time NCAA scoring machine has embarked on numerous professional and personal efforts designed to empower youth and promote social justice. A master communicator with a hard-earned degree in sociology, John has also carved out an impressive broadcasting career, while lending his compassion and intelligence to innovative workforce-development efforts on Long Island and beyond. In today’s episode, the Knicks’ 1996 first-round pick joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss his greatest mentors, fiercest opponents and most heartfelt social causes – and to review the X’s and O’s of “giving back,” and how they’ve changed over his amazing career.
