Send us a text


Get ready for a time-warp back to the legendary 1987 NCAA
championship game between Indiana and Syracuse, where we dissect
the strategies, the defining moments, and the players who made
history. Promise us one thing; you'll be on the edge of your seat
when we unfold the drama of the final play that saw Indiana
emerge as the champions and the lasting legacy it etched for
Coach Bob Knight. 

After we conclude our discussion of the 1987 Championship we have
author Randy Mills on board discussing the unique stories behind
Larry Bird's high school playing days and that unforgettable
winning shot that sealed the deal for Indiana. 


In the world of basketball, a player's story is not just about
the game, it's a tapestry of choices, challenges, determination,
and the will to succeed. We journey through Larry Bird's high
school days, his decision to stay in college basketball, his
recovery from a broken ankle, and the headlines his performance
dominated. We've got exclusive snippets from two reporters who
captured the essence of Indiana high school basketball at the
time, making this episode a true tribute to Bird's journey.


Breathe in the nostalgia as we analyze the inaccuracies and
narratives in basketball, the ones that sometimes paint a
different picture from reality. But it's not all serious; we have
some heartwarming stories of fans sharing unexpected moments with
Larry Bird; one such story of a little boy at the concessions
stand will have you chuckling. We're wrapping this up with an
enticing trailer for Season 2 of Iconic Seasons, featuring the
1979 match-up between March and Magic. Trust us; it's a season
you won't want to miss. As always, we appreciate your ratings and
reviews.
