Mike Safo with NBA All-Star, NBA Champion, Mr. Kentucky Basketball, Butch Beard

Joined today by NBA and Army Veteran Butch Beard. Butch and I discuss everything from his much publicized recruiting battle between Kentucky and Louisville, racial issues back then in Kentucky, to helping rebuild lives and the basketball program at Simmons College. We talk about his time in the NBA with the Knicks and his late nights with Walt Frazier. We laugh on how Butch is rooting for both the Cavs and the Warriors.  Butch opens up about playing in the 1972 All Star game with Wilt, Kareem, Jerry West and The Big O. Coach. He gave behind the scenes information about coaching the New Jersey Nets, the drama as an assistant coach with the Mavericks, an awesome Reggie Jackson story, and much, much more.
