Descripción del Episodio

| DSH #1955 What if one NBA legend changed the future of basketball… and still never got the credit he deserved? Spencer Haywood’s story is bigger than basketball. He went from picking cotton in Mississippi for $2 a day to winning Olympic gold, becoming a basketball phenom, and taking on the NBA all the way to the Supreme Court. His fight helped open the door for generations of players to enter the league early, build wealth, and change their families forever. In this episode, Spencer Haywood sits down with Sean to talk about the real cost of that battle. He opens up about growing up under racism, fighting the NCAA and the NBA, surviving pressure from the system, winning a championship with the Lakers, battling addiction, losing his place in the league, and rebuilding his life through family, therapy, faith, and purpose. He also breaks down the future of the NBA, why Vegas is about to become a basketball city, what he thinks about LeBron, Magic, Kareem, Michael Jordan, and why today’s players still need to understand the history that made their contracts possible. This is not just a sports interview. It’s a story about power, sacrifice, racism, money, legacy, and the man behind one of the most important rules in NBA history. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 From Cotton Fields To Olympic Gold 0:40 Spencer Haywood Joins The Show 1:43 Fighting The NBA’s Four-Year Rule 5:01 NCAA Money And Player Exploitation 8:00 The Supreme Court Battle Begins 14:57 1968, Civil Rights, And Olympic Pressure 18:10 Retiring His Mother From Cotton Fields 24:52 Growing Up Under Jim Crow Racism 29:55 Today’s Players, NIL, And NBA Money 35:00 The $67 Billion Spencer Haywood Changed 39:55 Therapy, Trauma, And Mental Health 44:58 War, Politics, And Cultural Division 49:45 Vegas Basketball And NBA Ownership 52:00 Showtime Lakers, Magic, Kareem, And Addiction 57:44 Getting Clean, Leaving Basketball, And Fatherhood 1:02:45 Spencer Haywood’s Next Chapter 3. 🧠 What You’ll Learn 🏀 How Spencer Haywood changed NBA history through the Supreme Court 💰 Why college athletes were making everyone rich except themselves 🥇 What it felt like to go from Mississippi cotton fields to Olympic gold ⚖️ How the “Spencer Haywood Rule” opened the door for future NBA stars 🔥 Why the NBA and NCAA tried to break his spirit during the legal fight 🧠 How therapy helped him face trauma, addiction, and life after basketball 👑 What Spencer really thinks about Magic, Kareem, LeBron, and today’s players 🏙️ Why Vegas could become one of the biggest basketball cities in America 👨‍👧 How fatherhood became one of the most important wins of his life 📜 Why today’s athletes need to know the history behind their freedom 🎙️ APPLY OR CONNECT 👉 Interested in being a guest?

World War II with Tom Hanks

World War II with Tom Hanks

By shows

For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.

The Last 12 Weeks

The Last 12 Weeks

By shows

In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
