  Interview with Jamaal Wilkes

  Aug 5, 20261h 14m

  Basketball Hall of Famer Jamaal Wilkes was an All-American in high school, a 2x All American in college, a 3x All Star and 2x All Defensive pick in the NBA, and won 6 titles between UCLA (2), Golden State (1), and the Lakers (3). His four Hall of Fame presenters were Bill Walton, Rick Barry, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and Magic Johnson. And iconic coach John Wooden once described everything that he wanted in a player, paused and said 'Just take Jamaal and let it go at that.' There is really not much more to say. Great stories from a legend. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

  Interview with Raymond Chester

  Jul 8, 20261h 34m

  On the latest Chasing Hardware, great stories from Raiders and Colts legend Raymond Chester. On top of his multiple Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl championship with the Raiders, he was one of a handful of guys who helped redefine the tight end position. He could run-block, pass-protect, catch and run....fast, stretching defenses in a way few at his position ever had. We cover terrific stories growing up in Baltimore, playing for some unbelievable Morgan State teams, and then the Raiders and Colts years, with Al Davis, John Madden, Ken Stabler, Ted Hendricks, Fred Biletnikoff, Cliff Branch, Jim Plunkett, Bert Jones, John Mackey, Lydell Mitchell, and so much more.
