from Press Box Chronicles · host Press Box Chronicles
Today, we're diving into one of the worst draft picks of all-time, and a guy with perhaps the coolest name of all-time: Yinka Dare. It's 1991, and while driving down the side of a road in Lagos, Nigeria, a 6'10" Yinka Dare was discovered, having never played basketball before. What happened next started out as a fairytale story, but quickly ends in nightmare fashion. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?
