Mike Wise welcomes Monica McNutt of “Buckets, Boards, & Blocks” and Bruce Bernstein from Pure Hoops Media for a discussion of events shaking our world and where there may be some lessons from basketball that could help us through them. We have seen leadership and positive contributions from hoop legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, current player Jaylen Brown, and several others. Mike, Monica, & Bruce discuss important issues like diversity, leadership, societal tension, and the striving for acceptance. But we also look for ways to improve through understanding, respect, and doing things that might make us uncomfortable but will ultimately be better for our society.
