Coach George Raveling (@GeorgeRaveling) is an
80-year-old living legend and Nike's former Director of
International Basketball. Coach Raveling was the first African
American head basketball coach in the PAC-8 (now PAC-12), and he
is often referred to as the "Human Google."
Coach Raveling has held head coaching jobs at Washington State,
The University of Iowa, and USC. Following a prolific basketball
coaching career, he joined Nike at the request of Phil Knight,
where he played an integral role in signing a reluctant Michael
Jordan. He's also been inducted in the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame as well as the National Collegiate
Basketball Hall of Fame.
In this episode we cover a lot of things including how he came to
possess the original copy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have
a Dream" speech, how his practice team ended up beating the 1984
US Olympic Dream Team in basketball, and much, much more!
I hope you'll emerge from this conversation walking on air as I
did!
Enjoy!
