7 - Harlem Globetrotter Chris "Handles" Franklin on hooping with Obama, Nike commercials & giving back

EPISODE 7: Harrisburg's Chris Franklin is one of the greatest to
ever play for the Harlem Globetrotters. He holds a world record,
has played basketball in all 50 states and 84 countries, and
achieved a dream he set back in 1978 (20:59). The Susquehanna Twp
HS grad shares his memories of playing basketball at the White
House with President Barack Obama (40:45), what it was like to
play overseas during the Iraq War (33:41) and his message to
young students who have big dreams (41:00).


Plus the podcast squad contemplates whether fans have completely
lost their minds and where the sports world goes from here.
