Best of the Pure Hoops Pod: Bob Delaney on Coronavirus, the NBA, & Life

Eric Newman and BJ Armstrong are still on their summer hiatus, so we want to present one of our favorite previous shows that you may have missed. Bob Delaney, who in addition to being a former NBA referee also worked as a New Jersey State trooper and infiltrated the mob as an undercover agent. Bob has gained rare insight into the human condition through his work and personal experiences. Currently, he speaks to groups about PTSD and has a unique perspective on the challenges facing the country (4:00) and the sports world (15:10). He also shares classic stories from his days with the NBA (24:45) including vintage Larry Bird trash talk and the time he tried to break up a fight between Shaq and Charles Barkley.
